We munch through 378 million mince pies in the UK during the festive season!🎄 Make sure to recycle your foil containers as they are made entirely from aluminium and can be endlessly recycled, without losing quality♻️See how else you can reduce waste at eastlondonwaste.gov.uk/Chris…

🍽 It can be hard to judge how much to prepare when cooking for more people than usual. Avoid eating roast potatoes for a week by using the Love Food Hate Waste portion control calculator at lovefoodhatewaste.com

🍴 Don’t go cold turkey - plan ahead.
💡 With so many tempting treats in the shops it's easy to buy more food than you need at this time of year.
⏱ Taking time to check your cupboards, fridge and freezer before shopping means you know what you have in store already.

Give gifts with rechargeable batteries. Recycle your batteries in dedicated collections containers and never place them in any household bin. Why? Batteries in household bins can cause fires.

Doing some DIY or deep cleaning before your guests arrive? why not HIRE a carpet cleaner or drill - simply use then return, saving you money and space.

❄️ Prepare for your post-Christmas leftovers by clearing out your freezer now. By making space to freeze your left over for the turkey trimmings, excess bread and sprout soup you can reduce how much food – and money – you throw away.

♻Choose recyclable Christmas cards, gift tags and wrapping paper. Foil, glitter, bows, musical features or foil are unable to be recycled.
✂️Try making your own cards for a personal touch or make a memory by phoning a loved one instead of sending a card.

#Repair & #rewear this Christmas. Fix Christmas lights (check the fuse!) Never dispose in any household bin, always put them with electrical waste.
👕 Outgrown your #ChristmasJumper? Find one second hand, or make your own. #festivefixes #LondonChristmas #recycleyourelectricals

♻Wrapping paper can only be recycled if it is paper so avoid glitter, foil or sparkles as they’ll need to go in the bin. Try brown paper, a paper gift bag or ‘Furoshiki’ fabric wrapping instead. #Recyclefyc #Barkinganddagenham #Newham #Havering #Redbridge #zerowastechristmas
