Don't let your holidays go to waste! Simple recycling tips to make your holidays environmentally friendly:

Holiday gift wrap and excess packaging can significantly impact the environment. Oxford County residents can make a difference by choosing products with minimal packaging and gift wrap that are easily recyclable. 
Follow these simple steps for recycling during the holiday season: 

•    Remove all tape, plastic film, twist ties, and other objects from cardboard packaging.
•    Flatten and bundle cardboard boxes no larger than 75 x 75 x 20 centimetres.
•    Recycle wrapping paper, but discard foil-based wrapping paper in the garbage.
•    Remove all ribbons and bows, and consider saving and reusing them next year.
•    Dispose of Christmas lights, battery-powered toys, and clear plastic film in the garbage after removing any batteries.
•    Drop off used batteries for free at one of Oxford County's hazardous waste depots: the Oxford County Waste Management Facility, the Woodstock EnviroDepot, and all City facilities.
•    Recycle bulky Styrofoam, often found in larger gifts, for free at the Oxford County Waste Management Facility, the Tillsonburg Transfer Station, or the Woodstock EnviroDepot.
