Most of the rubbish you produce around Christmas can be recycled one way or another. We throw away enough wrapping paper to cover an area larger than Guernsey. Don't add to the mountains of waste and re-use or recycle. Recycle your Christmas cards through the Woodland Trust's recycle scheme at WH Smith/Tesco. Put your food waste into the compost and, instead of hanging onto them, take unwanted gifts to charity. Your Christmas tree?- don't just throw it out with the rubbish but contact your local council to find out what schemes they have for old Christmas trees. more below...
