Excess glass, cans, cardboard and plastic recycling can be placed in blue or white bags but residents are asked to please remember to keep glass separate.

Alternatively excess can be taken to the recycling centres located across the district, which will be open throughout the holidays.

However wrapping paper and tissue paper cannot be recycled – it should be placed in the grey bin.
