## Metal biscuit tins and plastic sweet tubs can't go in your recycling.

### Once you've eaten the biscuits and snaffled to sweets why not have a try at making something new out of the tin or the tub?

There's lots of ways that you can reuse empty tins or tubs but if you can't reuse them then make sure that they go in your black in as they can't be recycled.

What do you do with your empty tubs and tins? Share your reuse idea with us at #NottsRecycles we love to see photos too!
