Christmas card and paper recycling

The countdown to Christmas has begun. Christmas cards are filling post boxes, cardboard-packaged gifts are landing on doorsteps and empty mince pie boxes are piling up high. Luckily, in Surrey you can recycle your festive paper and card with ease.

Whether you have empty chocolate boxes, old envelopes or used wrapping paper, there is room in your recycling bin for them all. Just remember that you can’t recycle anything with glitter on, wrapping paper that doesn’t rip or cards that contain batteries.

To check what else you can recycle where you live this Christmas and all year round, you can use our search tool or download the Recycle for Surrey app. Rubbish and recycling collections are changing over the festive period, so check to find out how this effects you.
