Originally posted by zoco View PostEverything went into a black bin until recently (as they only collected metal, glass & newpsapers).
Now we also have a green bin. Evrything that used to go into the black bin now goes in the green bin. The black bin is now for plastics and card.
Plastics confuse me though. I generally look for the recycleable logo that is embossed somewhere on the plastic container / package. If it's there, into the bin it goes. It appears that not all recycleable plastics are recycled by our local authority though. Only certain ones & recently the collection have started getting shirty about the wrong kinds of recycleable plastics in the green bin.
It's all becoming a real faff.

In our household, anything sort-able goes into recycling (rinsed first, if it's likely to to get smelly between chucking out and collection) and the sloppy stuff goes into landfill.
It's a special arrangement we have with our council. We pretend to sort, and they pretend to recycleComment

Originally posted by d000hg View PostThey clean and process everything thoroughly so I think that's the right way to do it. Pizza boxes, grease & all, go in our paper/card bin.Comment

We pay ~£1.50 for each 35l bin bag full, so it makes financial sense to recycle glass, PET, paper etc. The nearest recycling spots for most residents is within walking distance, though we have kerbside pick up for paper and cardboard.
Despite now having a grown up family (3 kids still living at home), our weekly rubbish is about one quarter what it was in the UK.Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!Comment
