As Christmas approaches there are plenty of ways for you to celebrate sustainably this year, helping you to reduce waste and energy, and recycle more during the festive period, and maybe save yourself some money too.
We have come up with some useful ideas to get you started, from thoughtful gift-giving and eco-friendly wrapping, to buying party outfits second hand, or hosting a low-waste party.
If you have your own sustainable holiday tips and suggestions please let us know and we can add them to our webpages. Thank you!

Council Mobile App for Recycling and Waste Collections
Don't forget that we now have a mobile app to help you to keep up to date with your Christmas and New Year bin collection times.
Check when your next recycling and waste collection day is, search for what can and can’t be recycled, find your nearest recycling site, and more. You will also receive personal notifications letting you know when to put your bin out and also if there is a delay to collecting your recycling or waste.
