4. Wash out containers to avoid attracting animals, particularly if you store your recyclables outside.
5. Take responsibility, we can all make a difference.
6. Remember that up to 60% of the rubbish that ends up in the dustbin could be reused or recycled. However you should not use your recycling sacks and banks for disposing of normal rubbish, as currently around 20% of the material we receive is on the □list which contaminates the rest.
6. Use your Household Waste and Recycling Centres. Although some of the material on the 'X' list cannot be recycled through the recycling sack and bank scheme, it may be possible to recycle it by taking it directly to your HWRC.
