Lots of people ask us about foil wrappers and crisp packets...so here's a couple of things to think about...
Sweet wrappers are often small bits of foil - so the best thing to do is when you get a foil sweet wrapper or bottle top just scrunch it up into a ball and put it to one side. As you get more, just keep adding to it until it gets to the same size as a tennis ball, and all you have to do is pop it into your recycling bin. Doing this prevents all the small bits of foil from getting lost along the way.

So, don't forget to recycle all your foil wrappers from your chocolates and sweets, even those foil yoghurt pot tops and milk bottle tops. Oh and don't forget the foil bottoms from individual tarts and pies too. You can also recycle foil food trays from ready meals and take aways, as well as and cooking foil...BUT please make sure they are rinsed off so that there is no food waste remaining.
But remember...
Some crisp packets and sweet wrappers have a silver lining which looks a bit like foil, but these are not made from foil, it is actually plastic, so it can not be put in your recycling bin.
If in doubt, just do the scrunch test to find out...
If you scrunch it in your hand and it stays scrunched up then YES it can go in your recycling bin....BUT if it springs back open, it can NOT be recycled...simples!!!
