Our crews are emptying #bins, as usual, however, due to the snow and ice, they may not be able to empty all bins. We will keep residents updated later on today. We apologise for any inconvenience caused and thank you for bearing with us.

Approximately 750 tonnes of good material are going to landfills in the form of bottles, pots, tubs, and trays! We can recycle these if cleaned and placed in the recycling bin.

Globally, more than 300,000 disposable nappies are used a minute.
If you use nappies, could you switch to reusables? You could get preloved ones, or use a discount to get new: huntingdonshire.gov.uk/bins-โฆ.

Even your potato skins have #nutrition & are #delicious. Rub them with oil & your favourite herb/spice before cooking for #ExtraFlavour.
If you don't want it, compost it and give it #BackToTheSoil!

Not caught your carrots before they lost their crunch?
Pop them in a glass of ice-cold water for 30 minutes to give them back their crunch.
Remember to compost any discarded tops to give the #nutrition #BackToTheSoil!

Cigarette butts may be small, but where do you think they go?
Discarding butts in the street is #FlickingBlueMurder as they flow through the waterworks, into our rivers and streams and out into the ocean. #BinTheButt

#FoodWaste sent to landfill releases methane, a greenhouse gas 2.5 times more potent than carbon dioxide; causing #ClimateChange.
#BeTheChange #reduce your food waste, ensuring what is created is composted (at home or in your garden bin) and inform others to do the same.

You would be bananas to waste bananas!
They are #delicious and #nutritious. You know, otherwise why would you buy them?
The peel has lots of #nutrition too, so compost it #BackToTheSoil!

Got clothes you no longer want, there's a range of ways to dispose of them; selling e.g. Vinted, donating to charity, passing on to Friends & family.
If beyond #reuse, recycle at ASTCO clothing banks, household recycling centres & some charity shops.

#WastingFoodFeedsClimateChange!
Wasting food not only wastes your money, but is wasting resources too; production to disposal, transporting to storing, all create unnecessary emissions.

Show your dog how much you love them, by bagging and binning their poo.
Any general waste bin will do, it doesn't need to be a dog waste bin.

Be passionate about your pastries; they are too precious to waste!
If going stale, sprinkle with a few drops of water & reheat in the oven for 5-10 minutes until heated through. Or they can be frozen & reheated at a later date.

๐ You'd be a right lemon to waste any lemons! ๐
If they are starting to go soft, you can zest them, slice them or juice them before adding them to the freezer for use at a later date. You can do this with all citrus fruits.
