Brown wrapping paper with any ribbons removed can be recycled.
All other Christmas wrapping paper cannot and needs to go into the waste bin. Christmas cards can be recycled but only if they do not contain glitter, ribbons or bows.
Garden waste collections will take a two-week break as usual, stopping after Friday, December 22 and restarting from Monday, January 8.
Garden waste customers can leave their real Christmas trees out for collection in the New Year, although trees over six feet tall should be cut in half and all decorations removed.
