Plastic bottles and cardboard can now be recycled in North Wiltshire.

A recent series of roadshows told us that residents in North Wiltshire wanted to get more involved in recycling and wanted to be able to dispose of plastic bottles and cardboard. Now a new trial scheme is about to start to ensure everyone can now recycle even more of their household rubbish.
