Where to dispose:
Yellow recycling bin (if clean, and scrunched into a large ball)
Aluminium foil can be placed in the council provided recycling bins (yellow lid). It must be clean, scrunched up into a ball and be no smaller than a fist. If aluminium foil is smaller, place in an aluminium can before discarding in the recycling bin.
If left unscrunched, it may be mistaken for paper and sorted incorrectly. If foil is soiled with food or soil, it should be placed in the general waste bin (red lid).
Packets with foil lining, such as chip packets, should be placed in the general waste bin (red lid)
