I want to dispose of

Check which materials you can take to Staffordshire’s recycling centres.

Motorcycle tyres

Reduce: Careful driving by minimising harsh breaking and accelerating will minimise tyre wear and save you money on fuel too.

Nappies

Reduce: Why not try reusable nappies to help reduce the 2.9 billion disposable nappies that are being disposed of each year in the UK. There are environmental benefits as well as the possibility of saving money.

Newspapers

Reduce: Consider switching to online versions if available.

Non-recyclable household waste

Check your local council for further information on what can be accepted in the recycling bin. Most of the items brought to the Staffordshire's recycling centres can either be reused or recycled.

Paint

Reduce: Carefully consider how much you need by using the guidelines on the tin and only buy what you need.

Paper

Reduce: Reduce the amount of junk mail you receive. Register with the mail preference service to reduce the amount of unsolicited marketing mail you receive. Contact the Royal Mail to stop unaddressed mail being delivered by them to you.

Plant pots

Reduce: Wherever possible repair broken items to keep them in use that bit longer.

Plastic bottles

Reduce: Instead of buying a bottled drink or a coffee, have you considered taking a reusable container?

Polystyrene

Reduce: Is it possible to choose a product with less packaging?

Polythene

Reduce: Instead of buying a bottled drink, have you considered taking a reusable container?
