Recycling at Christmas

Over the years a target for BCS has been to reduce the amount of waste that we produce during Christmas week. Ted, our top recycler, speaks about this in our first YouTube video.

This year we used one medium skip, and managed to recycle:

1. 30 bundles of paper/card;
2. 10 bags of cleaned and crushed metals;
3. 10 bas of plastics [it is frustrating that many plastics, especially those that are black, are not accepted];
4. 3 bags of glass;
5. 1 bag of crushed foil; and
   
6. 4 bags of compostables.

As ever, tetrapacks caused Ted some distress as they cannot be recycled. Maybe next year, huh?
