Council connect midsomer norton

The council is also highlighting that it is unable to accept any wrapping paper for recycling. Wrapping paper often contains non-paper additives such as plastic, foil or glitter which are not accepted by recycling manufacturers, meaning the whole load can be rejected because they cannot be recycled with paper.

It really helps the crews to do their rounds more efficiently if you wash, squash and sort the materials inside the boxes and bags — it keeps the vehicle moving and reduces traffic congestion too. Brown paper can be put out for recycling with cardboard in your blue bag and newspaper can be put in your green box mixed with other paper separated from glass. Remember to remove sticky tape, string, and ribbons before recycling. For tips on how to reduce your waste and for suggestions for alternative wrapping and gift ideas visit www.
