We have a green wheelie into which we put the usual newspapers etc but we are also allowed (and I say that tongue in cheek ) to put in ...
Paper - , junk mail, letters and computer paper etc but no envelopes or shredded paper.
Cardboard - Cereal or other food boxes, egg boxes, toilet roll middles etc)
Plastic Bottles- Milk, squash, bleach, or shampoo bottles, etc .Must all be washed first.
Metal Cans - Steel or aluminium food or drink cans etc ..all to washed yet again.
Empty Aerosol Cans - Deodorants, air fresheners etc but not the tops .
Absolutely no yogurt or margarine tubs .
Laughable !!
I would contact your local council and see if they are as fussy as ours !
