Did you know, we throw away around 30% more rubbish at Christmas?

The good news is, lots of it can be recycled – from mince pie packaging and glass bottles, to plastic cream pots and wrapping paper!

Have a go at our Christmas activity sheet and help the elves (and your families!) to waste less and recycle more over this festive period.

No matter where you live in Norfolk, you can put the same items in your household recycling bin. Test your knowledge of what can and can’t go in your recycling bin at home against the clock.  Share this with your friends at the end of the game.

Please note this game is not accessible to all currently.
