We take all kinds of paper, but it must be clean and dry and easy to collect. Pop it in a plastic bag with handles tied and put it on top of your crate. This keeps it dry and prevents your other recyclables blowing away.
When you think paper, don’t just think newspaper. Think glossy magazines, office paper and even advertising brochures – we want it all.
We also take box-board such as cereal packets – just make sure they’re clean, empty and flat and tied in the bag with the paper.
One litre milk cartons and eggtrays/cartons are the only paper items we don’t want flattened. Rinsed milk cartons are used my “Trees for the Caterbury” for tree seedlings and clean egg cartons can be used again. Please keep these items unflattened and them loose in your crate.
Remember
We cant take dirty or food-soiled paper.
Box-board must be empty of all contents, flaps undone and put in with other paper.
Clean and tidy recyclables at the kerbside make it easier for the collectors and will reduce the risk of litter on your street.
