Recycling blue box

Councils that collct all dry recycling together sort it by machine, so sorry but you are probably wasting your time as they will just mix it all together anyway (well this is what our council does)0

The men that collect ours have a wagon with various receptacles for tin, paper, glass and plastic. I've seen them putting glass in one bit, papers in another, tins in another etc.
I merely thought by putting all my plastic in one bag and all tins in another they might be grateful that I'd save them some time. After all, they always return the blue (council provided for newspapers) bags and the bags I was putting out with (sorted) recyclable items were of a similar thickness and in a decent condition. And like I say, the first couple of times they got the idea. Surely it's simple enough to tip the contents of the bags into wagon then return them to the box with the blue bags???
Anyways, it's collection day on friday and everything is in it for THEM to sort out.:wave:0 -
Well the blue box is out. I'm trying an experiment. I've put all the tins in a cardboard box in the blue box in the hope they will take it away - I bet they don't (simply because I don't want the box back, it's s*%s law!!!!!):wave:0

There's not a response to that, but you did give me a chuckle!
