Junk Mail can be Recycled Too
Around a million tonnes of junk mail are binned in the UK every year.
Junk mail can be added to your normal paper doorstep collection bin/bag or can be taken to a Household Waste Recycling Centre. Taking these steps will ensure the resource is not lost to landfill. Your junk mail could become tomorrow’s newspaper or kitchen roll or more paper – The possibilities are endless.
