Our binmen have just dragged me from my house to show me their evidence and I'm sure this is what they were implying.
And they gave me yet another leaflet explaining the system.

I do this just to annoy our bin men.....I mean why are they rooting through the recycling boxes anyway??? The funniest was when we put some shredded paper in the 'paper and magazine' box and they refused to take it.......apparently 'shredded paper' is classed as general household waste and should ALWAYS go into the BLACK bin!! DO not be caught out.

The bottle lids can cause a problem in the cardboard machines. As they didn't do so let me thank you for recycling, there are a lot of people who don't even attempt to recycle.
They only showed you what was wrong, we all accept that we make mistakes.
If they give you an electric reclining chair, just be grateful, they are comfortable.

Most recyclers want the cap off the bottle to prevent bottles with water in them from adding weight to the refuse. The cap can be included in the pile for recycling, just keep it off the bottle and you'll be fine.

Don't worry. In accordance with organic energy policy, they are now only allowed to use the electricity generated by the entire wind turbine network of Britain - so it will be about as much of a shock as putting your tongue on a battery.

If law enforcement was run by tree-hugging environmentalists then I'd say you'd be sentenced to the electric chair (by using hydroelectric power of course!).
But luckily they don't, so you'll only have to pay a small fine =]

No it's not serious offence, you only get 50 lashes for that. For the electric chair you have commit a real crime like saying you like George Bush.

No, that's the penalty for throwing a leaking battery into a duck pond. You're safe.

Wow! I don't think I'll bother with recycling after all - I'll just throw it all in the black bin.
