 Mince pie (or any pie) foil wrappers and plastic food trays (including takeaway boxes) can't be put in your recycling bin and have to go into your waste bin instead.

What is Recyclable in Broxtowe?
 This Christmas you can make a difference to our environment by recycling as much as possible.
Recycle your real Christmas Tree
 Residents who have subscribed to the garden waste subscription can also recycle their real Christmas trees through the brown bin scheme. Please see our website for further information.
If your tree is a real tree and potted, you may even want to put it in your garden, after Christmas, still in the pot, so it can live until next Christmas and be decorated again!
Reducing Food Waste
 Christmas is a great time to indulge in festive meals and treats. We can all play a part in reducing food waste this season by following leftover recipes or keeping leftover meals for the next day.
Veolia have a great selection of recipes using leftovers, to try.
