  • paper collection is usually separated into: newspapers, magazines, cardboard, and phone directories
  • unless specified, do not recycle catalogues, directories or envelopes which are gummed or glued together
  • juice and milk cartons cannot be recycled with ordinary paper as they are made up of several materials, to see where to recycle these please see the bank locator choosing the option of 'cartons'
  • some facilities provide mixed paper and card collection

Advice:

if you read newspapers, please recycle them after use. Alternatively, read news online. Set your printer to print double sided and buy recycled paper
