I currently recycle plastic, paper and metal in orange bags that are picked up every week in front of my house. I deliver my glass bottles and jars to a glass recycle bin up the road.
For organic waste, fresh food waste is mostly given to my new worm bin (excluding what they don't like); the rest (apart from meat waste) plus all garden cuttings go into my magical compost bin in the garden - which, though I fill it up almost every time I put green waste into it, the pile mysteriously goes down, and so far it is never actually full!
I wonder just how efficient is this current method of collection by the council, where the bags go, how and whether they are sorted, and what happens to the material. I am going to contact the council to find out what is the current state of actual recycling.
An obvious point about recycling. This must be seen as the final method of conserving waste, after more useful points of use: using less packaging, consuming less, sharing and reusing materials including FREECYCLE (see IMPORTANT LINKS - http://www.freecycle.org).
