July 2021 – Surprising items that can be recycled

Crayons - are non-decomposable but can be recycled to help schools, educators and children across the country. https://crayoncollection.org/

Batteries - not all can be recycled but many can. They are not permitted to go into household recycling bins, but many shops and supermarkets that sell batteries offer a recycling point.

Christmas Trees – recycling is becoming more widespread, many local councils provide a kerbside collection in early January.

Oil – used cooking and engine oil can usually be recycled at your local Household Waste and Recycling Centre (HWRC). There is usually a limit on this service so please check before you go.

Carpet – A use can always be found; as a rug, dog bed, car boot lining or even to cover a veg patch in winter to prevent weed growth.

Light bulbs - Compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) or low energy light bulbs contain small amounts of mercury and are accepted at HWRCs

Inhalers - There is a scheme currently in place by GSK (GlaxoSmithKline) find your local inhaler drop off point here www.pharmacyfinder.completethecycle.eu
