What We Can Put In Our Recycling Wheelie Bins

Used aluminium cans are recycled, reprocessed,  remade and ready for resale in approximately 60 days. In a year, a can  could be recycled eight times, saving enough energy to make 160 new  cans.

Cardboard and cartons are taken to be recycled into new cardboard packaging in 14 days.

Recycling cardboard reduces the need to cut down trees. 

It also cuts most of the chemicals used in the treatment process and saves energy as it takes far less effort to recycle than it does to make cardboard from  scratch.
