Win an Ipod Touch with Recycle Norfolk. Pick 4 items from their list that can be recycled:

Cardboard
Crisps Packets
Food Trays
Metal Cans
Paper
Plastic Bottles
Shredded Paper
Yoghurt Pots

I think all of the above can be recycled, with the exception of, maybe, the crisps packets (I have Kettle Chips and the packets cannot be recycled). Enter here:

Clicky

Searched URL and win an Ipod Touch (loads of comps., but can't see one with end date this far in advance)
We could all learn a little something from the weather. It pays no attention to criticism.

    Question is actually what you can recycle at home so probably safest to choose from the following. Kerbside collection in Norfolk is:

    Food and drink cans and tins

    Cardboard

    Paper

    Plastic bottles

    Glass
    2008: £783.12 - 2009: £6,401.15 - 2010: £4,230.61 - 2011: £8720 - 2012: £2,041.89
    2013: £134.96

    I shred my paper and put it in the recycling - they always take it! (and the neighbours too)

    Your local council recycle the neighbours? :eek: :D

    Sorry folks - but I actually recycle everything that is on that list. I checked my orange recycle bag and it lists all the things in the above list. It just says do not put glass in here. I will leave it up to you what you decide as your 4 choices. :)

    Different councils recycle different things but as the website is about recycling in Norfolk and the question asks what can you recycle at home... if you then check the link that says kerbside collection the only things that are collected in Norfolk are what I wrote above.

    When I lived in Norfolk last year, we couldn't recycle glass bottles at the kerbside.

    Out of the selection I'd say the answers were...


    Cardboard
    Metal Cans
    Paper
    Plastic Bottles

    HTH
    :D
