Recycling tin cans and plastics is essential for reducing landfill waste and conserving natural resources.

Plastics, while more complex due to different types and contamination issues, can often be recycled into new containers, textiles, or building materials. Always rinse out containers before recycling.

Items placed in black bags are sent directly for incineration, as the contents cannot be easily checked or sorted for recycling.

Using clear or transparent bags, where required, helps ensure materials are correctly processed and reduces contamination.
Avoid placing food waste or non-recyclables in recycling bins, as this can contaminate recyclable materials and disrupt the recycling process. Proper separation helps reduce landfill use and allows recyclable materials to be recovered more efficiently.
