Redlands WI Recycling Tips
Current recycling information from Caroline:
My neighbour is restarting recycling and has sent out this message and a list of
products she will collect. I haven’t before collected dog and cat food pouches as
they are messy and difficult to clean and dry but if someone has a clean stash, I
will of course take them and pass them on.
Karen says “All categories need to be collected separately please and all
items must be clean and dry. Also there are often additional rules, see
italic writing in list! I know this is rather overwhelming so just collect
one or two categories if you want”.
1. Pringles cans - any flavour and size including tubes, seals and lids. Not cans that look like
Pringles but are made by other companies.
2. Crisp packets - any brand and size. This includes the big bags that multipacks come in.
Please empty and flatten. Don’t fold them into tiny parcels.

cardboard packaging.

Maybe members who live near each other who collect items, would like to get together,
sort them into categories and one person brings them to my house. If they contact me by
email or phone and let me know they are coming, they can drop it off outside my door.
