Councils in Hull, East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire have offered advice on disposing of festive waste.
With Christmas over for another year, it's time to get rid of some of the waste that has accumulated over the festive period.
Here is a handy guide to some of the most common Christmas items and how to dispose of them properly.East Riding of Yorkshire Council's waste service manager, Sarah Atkinson, said it was always best do the "scrunch test" on wrapping paper. If the trays are cleaned afterwards, then they can be recycled. However, if they are too greasy or cannot be cleaned, then they cannot be recycled.
Take out any batteries before binning to avoid fires. In terms of the packaging, separate the components before putting in the right bins. East Lindsey District Council: Cardboard in purple bin, plastic in grey bin, soft plastic film/polystyrene/bubble wrap in black bin. South Kesteven District Council: Cardboard and paper instructions in purple bin or clear bag. Plastic and film in black bin or pink bag.
