Items such as clean food trays and foil wrapping on biscuits can be recycled in your mixed recycling bin at home. Please make sure that these items don't contain any grease or food residue. 

Scrunch kitchen foil, aluminium pot lids and wrappers together to make a ball (tennis ball size). This makes it easier to recycle and avoids it getting stuck in the recycling machinery.

You can also recycle clean foil at your local reuse and recycling centre (opens in a new window).

Can be collected with household recycling
