What can the councils of the UK do to ensure more effecient recycling? In my area the council relies completely on householders sorting their own waste, surely this can never be 100% effective. Once we have done our bit, what can be done to make it better?

I`ve seen facilities in the States where recycling is done .All waste
arrives,then it is separated into recycleable piles by poorly paid
individuals.Seems an injustice to me,but centralisation seems the way forward!
It`s a dirty business,but in my view necessary!

Learn to recognize recycling when they try. Granted that it is not 100% but it all helps. Mother nature has been recycling for millions of years and u don't recognize it. The plants ,all plants, through a process of photosynthesis . The plants take in the CO2 and hold on to the C and give us back O2 .That recycles the air for u. It is the start of another life cycle . The C is in the plants and represents food for the plants so they grow . Then comes winter and the leaves die and fall off and wash down the river to the delta where it is recycled Gas , Oil , Coal.

love ur hair, by the way
cool!
the re-cycling quotas here in essex only seem 2 b as good as the dustman collecting it!
2 often they just throw the recycled bags in with the regular rubbish & is very disappointing.
there's no point in all this goodwill from sorting our rubbish in2 separate piles, if the council lets us down.
i think the consumer should demand goods made from recycled plastic, glass & paper, a reduction in price would get the ball rolling.
i buy recycled products, but they're not marketed the same as the all-new products & some sad backward people c recycled as below par.
we need 2 educate & learn b4 it's 2 late.

the only way they can improve is if they make it easier for people to recycle, on the none recycled rubish it makes me mad that if it wont fit in our very small bins they wont take it so i then have to make a car journey to the household tip to put it in a skip, then another lorry comes and collects it and takes it to the landfill site where the bin lorry has already gone it just doent make sense to me
