SAVE ENERGY - RECYCLE!<br />
Did you know that nearly two thirds of household rubbish can be<br />
recycled?<br />
This saves energy and raw materials, and avoids waste going to landfill. In fact,<br />
recycling just one aluminium can saves enough energy to run a television for three<br />
hours.<br />
All councils in Northern Ireland collect recycling direct from outside your home and<br />
also have household recycling centres.<br />
RECYCLABLE ITEMS INCLUDE:<br />
Plastic bottles such as<br />
milk, water and cleaning<br />
product bottles<br />
Rinsed shampoo and<br />
shower gel bottles<br />
Plastic food trays and<br />
wrappings are sometimes<br />
recyclable, so check the<br />
packaging for more details<br />
Washing powder and<br />
liquid containers<br />
Glass bottles and jars<br />
(but no cookware or pyrex)<br />
Unwanted clothing<br />
Cardboard, such as<br />
frozen and dry food<br />
boxes and sleeves<br />
Toilet roll tubes and<br />
packaging from<br />
toiletries and make-up<br />
Find out more about the recycling services and facilities in your area<br />
by checking your council’s website.<br />
MAKE RECYCLING EASY AND SAVE TIME<br />
• use soapy water left over from washing up to rinse cans and glass jars before you<br />
put them out for recycling.<br />
• keep your recycling bin next to the main bin so you can take out the rubbish and<br />
recycling at the same time.<br />
• make recycling part of your weekly supermarket trip using supermarket recycling<br />
points.
