Recently, the Scottish Government held a recycling summit where consensus was reached on ensuring more packaging can be recycled and that Scotland’s recycling is managed responsibly and sustainably.
Over the festive period, many people will receive gifts some of which they will never use or want. I would encourage Inverclyde residents to consider giving said gifts to charity or to a home where they will be utilised.
Alongside this, it’s important we continue to take care of the planet and with this I ask people to ensure all Christmas cards are recycled. You can find out more information on rubbish, bins and recycling at www.mygov.scot/bins.
