Greetings cards

Can I recycle it?

Paper based cards and envelopes are collected as part of your recycling collection. Please remove any embellishments such as ribbon or glitters.

Batteries in musical cards need to be removed and recycled at a battery recycling point. 

Which container?

Greetings cards go in your orange recycling bag for cardboard.
