Recycling in Cheltenham
Please follow the Reduce, Reuse, Recycle philosophy where possible
- *Reducing- your waste is best, could you avoid buying it in the first place? Have it delivered in its original packaging rather than an additional box.
- *Reusing- is better - do you need to throw it away, or can it be used for something else? Check local community services like Olio, Freecycle or classified adverts for options to give unwanted items to a new home.
- *Recycling- your waste is good - if you need to bin it, can it be recycled either kerbside, at a designated centre or bank?
