recycling?

Question

how many of you recycle your glass plastic and tin?

Answer 1

I recycle more than twice the amount I throw away. Plastic, tins and cardboard go in council recycle bin and I take glass to the local bottle bank. I agree I think it should be made compulsory - what happens when the landfill sites are full?

Answer 2

Almost all of the glass tin and plastic stuff I put them in a resycle bag. On weekly basis recycle people come and collect the bags from home.

Answer 3

I recycle glass, plastic and metal and also cardboard and paper. Some glass jars I keep to use for pickles and jams. Cardboard is done through the local council and everything else I take to the local recycling centre.

Any food waste I try to compost for use in the garden

Answer 4

I do recycle all of those items. Plastic, paper and tin, goes in together, glass I take to local bottle bank.

Answer 5

Our recycling bin lorries will only take cardboard, paper tin and glass they wont take plastic so thats the only 1 I dont recycle.

Answer 6

I recycle glass, but unfortunately where I live there is no public recycling bins for plastic or tin.
Some houses have private recycling bins for plastic, why all houses cant have them I dont know.

Answer 7

I recycle so much that I only have a very small bag of trash every week.

Metals, glass, paper, newspaper, cardboard, plastics, green waste.

Answer 8

I must admit, I'm very new to recycling due to my 9 yr old doing this for her geography lessons I now have a normal bin with special binliners (given by my local council) for anything that I can recycle

Answer 9

Yep - and paper/card. Food waste (except meat scraps) is composted; even meat scraps/fat off meat are put out for the birds.

Answer 10

Quite alot but not as many as should be.Recycling should become mandatory as there are only so many places we can put our waste.
