What to Recycle

There’s always some confusion over what should go in the bin, if at all. I often wonder if certain things could be recycled and it’s down to the local area; and has someone taken the decision to say that this can’t be recycled in the majority of cases, so we’ll print that it can’t on the packaging, but in some boroughs it can. Pringle cans are especially annoying. I’m certainly not going to call UPS to collect them. I now end up cutting or breaking waste and sneaking things into our general refuse because we’ve now got our local collectors rummaging through each recycle bin and refusing to take the contents if there’s anything that isn’t recyclable (though I’m not sure they’ve been doing it recently). Perhaps each council should issue a physical list to each household of what should and shouldn’t go in each bin, and occupants could fix it to the underside of the lid. It could even have a template of Greta Thunberg in the memo.
