Are You A "Wishcycler" ?

..Err indoors is, I'm always taking stuff out of the recycling pre bin. (yes we have a traige system!) I just cheat and read the helpful pamphlet the council gave us!

I have just read a report in the Mail about this and it seems to complicate things. Apparently we are supposed to know about different types of plastic amongst other things. I am afraid I have given up doing the recycling company's job for them these days.
About six years ago an access road adjacent to our local Sainsbury had four large Biffas for different coloured glass bottles at the recycling area. I diligently used them for the correct coloured bottles. About a week after the New year the road was completely blocked with cardboard boxes full of empty bottles and literally thousands of loose bottles. A grab truck came along with a massive skip on the back and the operatives just scooped all those bottles of varying colours and placed them in the skip. I asked myself why I ever bothered and now I can't. Some recycling plants were incapable of handling the recyclables so paid China and other countries to take at great expense no doubt.

Yes I have to fish things out of both the 'pre bin' and Big Bin.

Like you say it should be easy enough if you just look at the leaflet - that is hanging on the whiteboard in our utility room!

I like the Prebin thing.

All the recycling but not necessarily in the right order.

If the experts want it sorted their way then ideally they need to do the sorting their end. They ain't paying the public to do it.
