South Cambs District Council will collect on Thursday 29th December and Thursday 5th January, 2 days later than usual due to the Christmas break
The collection due on Tuesday 10th January will be just one day late, being collected on Wednesday 11th January 2012
More than 750,000 tonnes of extra waste is produced ove Christmas in England alone. We can all reduce our environmental impact over the festive period. South Cambs have issued some suggestions for recycling:
Christmas cards can be placed in your blue bin, not in the caddy
Cans and foil should be rinsed and put into your blue bin
Real Christmas trees can be cut up and put into your green bin. You can also take your trees to your local household waste recycling centre for composting
Wrapping paper can be put into your blue bin as long as it is made from paper and not plastic or foil. Wrapping paper is not good enough quality for the paper caddy. Wrapping paper made from plastic or foil should be placed in the black bin
