What can be recycled
Information on what can be recycled.
If you can't reduce or reuse an item, can it be recycled or, if it is organic material like grass cuttings or vegetable food scrapings, composted?
Recycling means using valuable raw materials like glass, paper, tin and aluminium over and over again so we don't always have to make them from scratch.
