Real Christmas Tree
After the celebrations....
- Any cardboard, including ‘grey’ cardboard and ‘brown’ cardboard can be taken to Judkin’s Household Waste Site for recycling.
- Plastic bottles can be taken to Judkin’s Household Waste Site, Nuneaton for recycling. This includes squash bottles, fizzy drink bottles, milk bottles and detergent bottles.
- Try and use re-usable batteries where possible, or recycle your old household batteries in your red box or at Judkin’s Household Waste Site.
- Don’t forget what can go in your red box when the celebrations are over…glass bottles and jars, food and drinks cans, including large biscuit and chocolate tins, and foil.
- Don’t forget to compost all your potato peelings and sprout peelings. For more information about subsidised composters, please call 76376170 or look on Warwickshire County Council's website.
- When you have finished with your Christmas tree after twelfth night, why not take it to the garden waste skip at Judkin’s Household Waste site? Or even chop it up and keep it in your green bin until the first collection in March 2008.
- Please do not put Christmas cards in the red box. They can be recycled at branches of WHSmith, Tesco and TK Maxx in January.
- No wrapping paper can be put into the red box. Why not try re-using it for next Christmas?
- Had your mobile replaced? Why not take your old one to Judkin’s Household Waste site for recycling? Alternatively, Oxfam also take in mobiles.
- Any unwanted presents can be taken to a charity shop of your choice.
- All the stamps that come on your Christmas cards can be handed in to Oxfam or to the Post Office for Guide Dogs for the Blind.
- If you notice a rise in junk mail at Christmas, why not register with the mailing preference service? www.mpsonline.org.uk or call 0845 703 4599.
