Birthday cards
Birthday cards
Plain birthday cards are fully recyclable and these can be put in your green recycling bin. Remove any embellishments from cards that have them and batteries can be recycled at your local Household Recycling Centre. Decorations like buttons or bows are reusable at home.
Glitter is not recyclable. If you need to dispose of a glittery card, rip the card in half - the plain back part of the card (without glitter or embellishment) can go into your green recycling bin. The glittery front page can be reused at home for craft activities (e.g. making gift tags) or otherwise put into your black/grey bin.
