Confused About Recycling??
After the major de-cluttering and spring cleaning exercise that's been going on for about 2 months (!) we decided that making a major commitment to proper recycling was in order. I tasked myself to find out what could be recycled and where and when, and ended up getting very confused!
Finding out whether or not you can recycle envelopes, what colour they must be, what bin to put them in, what to do if they're gummed.... and everyone you consult says something different. And don't even set me started on plastic.....!!!!
This is a useful guide. http://www.waverley.gov.uk/waste/recycling.asp. We're a few weeks in now and doing really well - we're having to empty the boxes at least once per week, and we're now finding that we're putting out about half a bin-bag's worth of un-recyclables per week!
Marvellous. I recommend the activity highly.
