OVER the coming weeks The Avon Valley Advocate will feature recycling tips, facts about waste and feature articles on local heroes who are reducing waste around the community.
Information will be locally based and relevant.
For example, metal and steel containers, paper, glass and all plastic containers can all be placed in your yellow-topped bin.
It is important not to put your recycling in plastic bags and to take the lids off jars and any types of bottles.
Jars and food containers must be rinsed before they are placed in yellow-topped bins.
Each time you put aluminium in your bin to be recycled, instead of being made from raw material, saves enough electricity to run your television for three hours.
A local hero will be highlighted in the next edition of The Avon Valley Advocate.
