REDUCE Aluminium is useful stuff, but you don’t have to use it to wrap everything you put in the oven or fridge. Use a paper bag or greaseproof paper to wrap sandwiches in.
REUSE it as much a possible, clean, flatten and put it back in the drawer for next time. Containers can be used for seed trays.
RECYCLE Aluminium foil cannot be put in your green bag but it can be collected and disposed of at one of the Civic Amenity Sites from where, it is taken to the Sully Skills Development Centre in Barry which focuses on work activities for disabled people in support of environmental issues. Also some charities and special appeals will take it, for example www.alupro.org.uk.
