At Christmas, gift wrap often piles up.
Glossy or coloured wrapping paper contains very little paper fibre and should go in the general waste, not the paper bin.Look for recyclable wrapping paper when shopping – if it says it can go with paper waste, you can safely put it in your paper bin.
To save space, place non-recyclable gift wrap in a clear bag next to your bin on the first general waste collection after Christmas. You can do the same with extra cardboard.
Brown paper, newspaper or other recyclable wrap can go in the paper bin.
