With the holidays upon us the Municipality of North Perth is advising residents that gift wrap is not recyclable and must be put out with your garbage.
The reasons for this are due to cross-contamination from tape, bows, ribbons or excessive ink.
If you are looking for more eco-friendly alternatives to gift wrap some provided by the Bluewater Recycling Association include considering reusing paper and gift bags, wrapping gifts in fabric, using reusable baskets or tins.
The Municipality thanks everyone for helping them keep their recycling program clean and effective.
