Have yourself a merry…waste free Christmas
Avoid festive food waste

It can be very easy to overindulge and buy too much at this time of year but with proper planning and a shopping list, you can avoid excess food going into landfill.

Plan how much food you will need for the number of people attending. If you have food left over, make sure you store it correctly and enjoy it in your next meal.

Get rid of it right

If you have reduced, reused and rehomed but still find yourself with excess recyclables, remember you can drop off plastic or glass containers, paper, cardboard and up to 300kg of vegetation (including Christmas trees) over the festive period to Kimbriki free of charge. Christmas trees can also be cut up into small pieces and placed in your green vegetation bin- lid closed.
