BIFFA is helping baffled Bradfordians understand what they should put in their recycling bins this Christmas, with advice on what to do with common festive waste this season. Biffa research shows that although most of us want to be more environmentally friendly at Christmas, one in three feels confused about what they should and should not recycle. With an extra 277,000 miles of wrapping paper and 74 million mince pies estimated to be thrown away after the festivities, Biffa wants to make recycling as easy as possible, so that waste is treated sustainably and converted back into useful material. Steve Oulds, National Commercial Manager for Biffa Material Recycling Facilities, said: “We know it can often be tricky working out what should go into our recycling bins, especially at Christmas when there is lots of extra waste – Biffa recycling centres receive about 40 per cent more material than usual during the first two weeks of January, including a lot of things that can’t actually be recycled.
