Junk mail

Junk mail belongs with your RECYCLING.

Examples: Leaflets, flyers and booklets.

Please Remember: Remove any plastic wrapping and free gifts from newspapers, magazines and flyers before recycling. These should go in your refuse bin. Newspaper and magazine plastic covers can be recycled at some supermarkets in their carrier bag and plastic film collection points.

Hints and Tips: If you never look at the junk mail, why not put a note on your door stating ‘No Junk Mail’.
