Bin collections to change over festive period

COUNCIL REMINDS RESIDENTS MAJORITY OF CHRISTMAS WASTE CAN BE RECYCLED

- By LAURA CROSS

EAST Riding Council has said that bin collection days will change over the festive period.

According to the council, more waste is generated during Christmas and New Year than at any other period.

The council is reminding residents that the majority of festive waste - such as Christmas cards and cardboard boxes - can easily be recycled. And leftover food can be emptied into your kitchen caddies and tipped into your brown bin where it will be recycled into compost.

However, some items will need more care when recycling. For items such as batteries from toys and Christmas lights, check your local supermarket to see if they have a battery collection point.
