RESIDENTS are being urged to recycle items left over from their Christmas festivities.
Council bosses want people to recycle everything from old greetings cards and wrapping paper to wine bottles and jam jars.
Lewisham and Greenwich councils are asking residents to leave their Christmas trees at recycling collection points.
Greenwich residents can take their trees to the Civic Amenity Site, Nathan Way, Thamesmead, or Thompson Plant and Garden Centre, Shooters Hill.
Greenwich Council is also running a free Christmas tree collection service until January 21. Call 020 8921 4661.
Lewisham residents can leave trees at nine collection points across the borough, including Deptford Park and Sydenham Wells Park.
