Post Christmas recycling in Warwickshire

Figures show that during this time of year, around 30 per cent more waste than usual is generated - and most of it can be recycled.

The Royal Mail has estimated that if Christmas cards are not recycled, up to one billion could end up in bins across the UK.

The country uses an estimated 750 million extra bottles and glass containers and 500 million drinks cans at this time of year – all of which can also be recycled.

Warwick district people who do not have a recycling box or bin can call 410410 to request one.
