Guidance
Please make sure free gifts such as pens are removed from junk mail before it is placed in the recycling container.
Envelopes with plastic windows can also be recycled.
Did you know that the quality of recycling can be improved if plastic windows are removed/partially removed by the householder? This is beneficial to the environment.
You can reduce the amount of junk mail you receive by registering (for free) with the Mail Preference Service (external website).
