An Argyll and Bute Council spokeserson said: “There are also things you can do to help reduce the amount of waste going to landfill over this busy time.
“As usual, you can place paper, card, cans and plastic bottles/tubs/pots/trays your recycling bins or bags. Please remember to rinse out the cans and plastics first. Many types of Christmas paper and cards can also be recycled.
“Unfortunately, anything covered in glitter or foil-based paper cannot go in your recycling bin. If you want to check if the paper is foil, scrunch the paper up. If it springs back, please put it in the general waste bin. For further information about recycling at Christmas, visit Zero Waste Scotland.”
All other rubbish and recycling collections over the festive period will be carried out on the normal scheduled day(s) with the exception of December 25 and January 1.
