Copeland residents urged to recycle

Published: 20/12/2017

COPELAND residents are being encouraged to do their bit for the environment by recycling all their festive packaging this Christmas.

Copeland Council is continuing to operate its kerbside recycling service throughout the festive period. And for the extra waste that cannot fit into residents’ black boxes (currently for glass, paper and tins/cans), the council operates over 30 recycling sites across the borough.

Council offers festive recycling tips

Copeland residents are being urged to make recycling a part of the festive season.

Coun Mark Holliday, Copeland's portfolio holder for customers and communities, said: “There are lots of extra things you can recycle over Christmas. The wrapping paper, extra cans and bottles from parties, card from toy packaging and Christmas cards can all be recycled, either through our kerbside recycling service or by taking it to one of our bring sites.

“And remember, you can always put out extra recycling, at any time of year. Just make sure it is secure so that it can't blow away.”
