Recycle: Clean cans, aerosols, tins, metal bottle/jar tops, aluminium takeaway containers and tin foil can be recycled in your kerbside recycling or taken to any Staffordshire recycling centre.

Recycle (restrictions apply): Car batteries can be taken to Staffordshire's recycling centres. There is a recycling restriction of 2 lead acid batteries every 6 months. Apart from car batteries and engine oil, all other car parts and components, petrol or diesel cannot be accepted at Staffordshire's recycling centres. These items should be recycled through a garage/licensed scrap dealer.

Reuse: Some boxes are great for using as storage boxes or you could advertise them for free for people who are moving house.

Reduce: Have you considered sending an eCard?

Reuse: Consider re-using in a smaller room if only a section is worn.

Recycle: We accept video and cassette tapes at all of Staffordshire's recycling centres. Unfortunately, we do not have the facility to accept whole video or cassette tapes for recycling as the tape gets tangled in the recycling process. However, if you are happy to remove the magnetic tape from inside each unit, then the plastic casing can be placed in the hard plastics recycling container, the removed tape will need to go into the general waste.

If your child car seat is damaged, you can take it to any of Staffordshire’s recycling sites in the general waste section.

Reduce: When buying new clothing do you need to take the coat hanger?

Reduce: Have you considered a reusable coffee cup? Some stores may also offer you a discount if you supply your own cup. Some reusable cups are thermally insulated to keep your drink hot for longer.

Reduce: Consider replacing broken bulbs with LED bulbs where compatible. They last for longer and are more energy efficient.
