Council is asking all residents of Bristol to please try and produce as little residual matters as possible in order to keep the increase municipal taxes as low as possible.
Reduce
Bring re-usable bags to store to carry away your purchases
When shopping, choose items with as little packaging as possible or with recyclable packaging;
Put all organic matter (except meat and bones) in the compost – start a compost heap in the far corner of your garden if you don’t have a composter.
Reuse
Instead of buying disposal plastic bags or containers, reuse containers in which you buy food (such as margarine tubs, jars, tin boxes)
Buy containers that can be washed and used over and over again.
Recycle
As much matter as possible – Use the list of acceptable materials
Remember to place used motor oil and paint in specially marked bins at our municipal intrench disposal site.
