Take to:
- household waste recycling centres (paper and cardboard container) for no charge
- recycling banks.
We recommend shredding anything with personal details on before disposing of it.
Books
Books can be donated to a charity shop, your local supermarket's community section or sold online.
Books are accepted at most household waste recycling centres for reuse.
Wrapping paper
When recycling wrapping paper, make sure any ribbons or bows are removed. If you're not sure whether it can be recycled, remember the scrunch test. If it scrunches it can be recycled!
Commercial or business paper and shredding is not accepted at any household waste recycling centre. It should be taken to a transfer station.
