Greening Tip for June – say no to “wishcycling” (the well intentioned but unfounded belief that something is recyclable when it is not)
YES
- we wish to recycle
- we will read the labels
- our recycling is washed, clean and dry
- recyclable plastics have “chasing” arrows
NO
- takeaway packaging (eg greasy pizza boxes)
- soft plastics (eg crisp packets, plastic bags and bubble wrap) use local Supermarket recycle bins
- Batteries – again most Supermarkets have a collection pot
Putting out the wrong materials can invalidate the whole batch. If in doubt – don’t put it out!
