Waste products can be turned back into the raw materials they came from and then used to make new products. This helps to conserve natural resources and energy.

·         Recycling paper saves trees and uses less energy and water. All the paper the Council collects is sent away to be recycled either into new paper or into paper fibre items such as egg boxes. This saves new trees being cut down, and means there is less waste going to landfill.

·         If you are on the Tri-Cycle Scheme make full use if your Bryson House Black ‘Kerbie’ Box, Blue Bin and Brown Bin.  Alternatively, take your waste to the nearest Household Recycling Centre.  Council Household Recycling Centres now recycle a wide range of wastes, so why not make your contribution count!

·         You can also use a Home Composter to recycle your garden waste and kitchen scraps into a soil conditioner that you can use in your garden.

·         DON’T FORGET - buy recycled products.  They are of good quality and support the markets for recycled materials.
