Newspapers belong with your RECYCLING.
Please Remember: Remove any plastic wrapping and free gifts from newspapers, magazines and flyers before recycling. These should go in your refuse bin. Newspaper and magazine plastic covers can be recycled at some supermarkets in their carrier bag and plastic film collection points.
Hints and Tips: Why not ask local schools if they would like your old newspapers for art classes?
