Recycling wrapping paper
When you are buying wrapping paper, please remember that paper embellished with foil or glitter cannot be recycled and instead must to go to landfill.

With this in mind, Recycling for Guernsey recommends choose a wrapping paper without any extra materials so that it can easily be recycled in your clear bag.

Kraft wrapping paper (the thicker, heavier kind which looks a bit like brown paper on the reverse) must be recycled with cardboard – so this can also go in your clear bag or in the cardboard bring bank.

Please share this with your friends so they know too – and let’s have a waste free Christmas
