♻ Did you know? Clean aluminium foil CAN be recycled!

Before putting aluminium foil in your recycling, make sure it's clean and free from food residue. Then simply scrunch it into a ball before placing it in your recycling bin. This helps it be sorted correctly at the recycling facility.

💚 Every recyclable item rescued from the rubbish bin helps save valuable resources and supports a greener borough.

🤔 Not sure what can and can't go in your recycling bin? Find out more on our website: https://www.redbridge.gov.uk/bins-waste-and-recycling/recycling-collection/
