Most Unwanted: January Edition🚫![]()
Item: Amazon Shipping Envelopes ✉️![]()
![]()
This month, we're shining a spotlight on an item that’s causing more harm than you might think: Amazon envelopes with Styrofoam inside! ![]()
![]()
While the paper envelope itself could be recycled, the Styrofoam lining makes it non-recyclable. The problem is that Styrofoam doesn’t break down in the recycling process, and it can’t be separated from the paper. As a result, it contaminates the entire batch, preventing it from being properly recycled. That means even though it looks like something you could toss in the recycling bin, it ends up in the trash instead. ![]()

Next time you get a delivery, be mindful of how the packaging is made. Let's help reduce waste by being more aware of what's recyclable and what's not!![]()

Think you can put your wheelie bins out just 30 minutes before the usual collection time and be fine? While it may work out some weeks, routes can change, new drivers may be added, or unexpected adjustments could occur, causing your bins to be picked up earlier than usual.🚚🗑️ ![]()

To ensure your bins gets collected, always ensure they are out at the curb by 7 AM!![]()
