Birthday cards

Can I recycle?

Yes, you can recycle paper-based cards and their envelopes using your household recycling collection service.

Decorations like ribbon and glitter cannot be recycled and you should remove them by tearing off that section of the card.

You must also remove any batteries from musical cards and safely dispose of them at a battery recycling point.

Which container?

Your household cardboard bag, which for most people is the orange bag.

Useful information

It’s a good idea to check you've used up your stock of greetings cards before buying new ones. Or, even better, send your friends and family e-cards instead.
