What do I do with junk mail?
Junk mail can be recycled in your blue mixed recycling bin or clear recycling sacks.
Please make sure free gifts such as pens are removed from junk mail before it is placed in the recycling container.
Envelopes with plastic windows can also be recycled.
Did you know that the quality of recycling can be improved if plastic windows are removed/partially removed by the householder? This is beneficial to the environment.
