Christmas Recycling Tips


  • Rinse food and drink containers, bottles in your leftover washing up water before placing them into your recycling bags!
  • Stock up on recycling bags, ahead of the festive period by visiting one of the many collection points across RCT.
  • Park sensibly, so that our vehicles can get down your street safely.
  • Please place refuse and recycling out before 7am on your collection day and not before as this can lead to spillages and difficulties for pedestrians using the pavement.
  • Place ALL wrapping paper and gift bags into a separate CLEAR bag, including foil and glitter products.
  • Book your real Christmas tree collection online from 4th December at www.rctcbc.gov.uk/christmastrees
