Recycling is easy to do. All you need to do is dispose of your waste in the correct bins. Putting the wrong items in your recycling bin can result in part or the whole load being rejected and therefore sent to landfi ll. This can have a fi nancial impact upon the Council and may
reduce service provision in the future if not controlled.

Composting at homeHome composting is the most sustainable way to manage and dispose of garden waste and some food waste (uncooked vegetable peelings etc). At fi rst it may take up to six months before you start producing usable compost. But once you get going you will have a constant supply of compost made from your own garden and food waste.
