My local Council supply us with an orange bag for our waste paper , card ,tin cans etc. The bags are collected with our general waste and put in the back of the same waste lorry . Can anyone tell me the point of this ?

The bags do not go into different compartments on the lorry , I have often been caught behind the lorry in my car & have watched the waste all being compacted together.

it seems there is no point, they just want to appear to be making the environment better.
why don't you put ur recycling in the different bins urself, that way you know it's getting done.

The back of the lorry might actually be seperated into two compartments. One for general household rubbish and the other for the recyclable rubbish. This is the case in my mums area.

I would ask them before asking people all over yahoo, to be honest with you. It is different in every city. Some cities have waste recovery facilities that separate recycling from trash, some have split body trucks. Hopefully yours is actually recycling, otherwise they wouldn't pay for the orange bags!

Are you sure they don't go in a separate compartment in the lorry?

To get money from the EU and pretend we are doing something about recycling when we are not!

the bags go down a different shoot which the operative controls.
