Paper and cardboard can be recycled and therefore should be placed in your purple recycling bin.

Please use the green household waste bin for cardboard that is soiled (e.g. greasy pizza boxes or cake boxes covered with cream).

Other recycling options: Paper and cardboard can also be used for home composting. Compost heaps need wet and dry ingredients. Paper counts as dry and helps when there is a high proportion of kitchen waste, lawn clippings or other ‘wet’ green material.
