Aberdeenshire Council is expanding opportunities for reuse at household recycling centres so that more pre-loved items can be rehomed by a local charity.

CHRISTMAS TREE RECYCLING TIPS

2. Chop up your tree and add it to your home compost where possible.
3. Recycle it. Check your local authority’s website for up-to-date information.

It's nearly Christmas! While we're all gearing up for the festivities, remember that spending time with your loved ones doesn't need to cost the planet.
Head to our website for more information on how to be sustainable this Christmas at wasteless.scot.
Let’s do Christmas without the food waste!
🍽️ Write a list (and check it twice) before food shopping
🍽️ Serve buffet style so that it’s easy to store leftovers for later
🍽️Feed your food caddy with any unavoidable food waste like turkey bones or nut shells
(1/2)
Turkey can be expensive, and a lot of people end up with way too much leftover.
🍽️ Start a new tradition by swapping out turkey for a more affordable option like chicken, pork or even a veggie main course!

Have you heard about the “scrunch test” yet? If your wrapping paper stays scrunched, you can recycle* it! We asked shoppers if they'll be giving it a go. Watch to find out what they said!
*Always remember to remove any ribbons, sticky tape or gift tags before #recycling.
We took to the streets of Edinburgh and Stirling to ask shoppers if they'd buy second-hand this Christmas and it turns out, many would!
Will you be buying pre-loved this festive season?
