Laminated Paper
As it is effectively made of 2 different bonded materials, this cannot be recycled in Suffolk.

Light bulbs
All type of lightbulbs including Halogen, fluorescent light bulbs and energy saving lightbulbs can be taken to your local Household Waste Recycling Centre for recycling. If a light bulb needs replacing try using an energy efficient bulb instead. Traditional bulbs waste a lot of their energy by turning it into heat. Each energy saving bulb can reduce your electricity bill by around £7 a year. They also last, on average up to 12 times longer than ordinary light bulbs.
