Household Waste Recyling

[Chequered Flag Racing]

Just found myself cutting the top and bottom from an empty peanut container so that the metal and cardboard can go there different ways. Wanted to just bin it but I couldn't even after a few glasses of the old vino. Thank God for the spell checker

Can recall separating a other items in a similar way so they can be recycled

DO YOU DO IT?

Where is "yes I do, but I get fed up with having two wheelie bins, two plastic boxes and two bags full of different types of plastic, card/paper rubbish sitting around for the bi weekly collections..." option. I don't know where some house holds find to put these things.

To add a bit more, the following is provided by the council to recycle, a grey bin, a green bin, a blue box with a cover, a red box with a divider, a big blue bag, an orange netting bag.

If you want to see what our council expect us to do, have a ganders at this tacky video...

I'd say "No" and "Can't be bothered" are the same thing. I'm an opportunist recycler, If there's a recycle bin handy it goes in, if not then I don't bother.

I'm also like MRD, I won't go out of my way to get to the recycling bin just to put a piece of cardboard ( or anything else ) in it.

I do in Cardiff, we have green bags for carboard, tins, plastics and glass, household waste wheelie bin, green garden waste for garden and waste food. It isn't much to do, and if it helps preserve natural resources, cool.

Don't think I would if it was complicated though.

I do, but the brown bin for beer cans is full after a couple of days of being emptied. Then it all goes in the black one.

I recycle everything I can. The landfills are not a never ending place to get rid of our old stuff, and the earth is not a never ending supply of stuff, so if we all did out little bit it would make a big difference.
