ENVELOPES

Edinburgh : Take to Packaging Recycling Points. (See Recycling Points In Edinburgh). It is not necessary to remove the plastic window or glued tabs.

East Lothian: Recycle via the kerbside collection in the blue box. See KERBSIDE RECYCLING.

Scottish Borders: Recycle via the kerbside collection in the lilac bags. See KERBSIDE RECYCLING.

For reuse, slit open envelopes with a knife or letter opener. Clip together used envelopes and use backs for shopping lists etc.

For some free envelope reuse labels contact Changeworks: Tel: 0131 555 4010 Email: wasteprevention@changeworks.org.uk.

Buy envelopes made from recycled paper whenever possible.

Please do not put envelopes into Paper Points as the glue used for sealing them and the plastic windows interfere with the recycling process.
