If you live in Staffs & have blue lidded black recycling bins do you put glass bottles in?

[Gumby]

thanks

Oops was meant to post in chat!

no - glass, plastic and cardboard in the grey bins, brown bins for garden waste and food scraps, blue lidded bins for anything that can't be recycled! (I had to have the help sheet on the kitchen wall for 12 months so I could remember!)

I'm in North staffs under Newcastle borough council and have a blue box with a black lid for bottles, jars and cans and pink bags for plastics/ blue bags for papers and a green bag for cardboard!

Thanks
We've got a black wheelie bin
And a black wheelie bin with blue lid that says recycling on it but not what to recycle
Near Leek

I don't know which district you live in but this should help www.recycleforstaffordshire.org/recycle/kerbside-collections/

Hi im Leek it's Brown for garden,Grey for recycle glass, plastic ,cardboard. Blue lidded for none recycle.

In Switzerland we pay about 15 pounds for 10 bin bags which means we are very careful what we throw away. We are fined for not using official bin bags...and thesis cost pays for rubbish collection. We dont haVe council tax. Cardboard and paper is picked up once a month and glass bins are all over the place. It's a great system. Come on uk...check out Europe...

Blenda in England every lay-by would be filled with rubbish
I'm in a huff at our councils new system, because they are going over to fortnightly collections, but still not taking plastic or cardboard to recycling.

Oh and DD1 would want you to wave to your mountains for her, she totally fell in love with Switzerland last summer.

Where I live we have:-
wheelie bin for non recycled stuff collected every 2 weeks
A lidded box for glass and cans weekly collection
Food waste bin weekly collection

Bags for :-
plastic
paper
textiles
cardboard
garden wate

Have use separate bags for all of the above, weekly collection for everything except plastic.

It's taken we a while to get used to it!

We have just had new boxes and new recycling system in our area. The new boxes for paper and card have no lids and although we now have a food scraps caddy most of the plastic stuff we recycled before now can not be recycled so we will probably have the same if not more landfill rubbish than we did on the old system. The recycling boxes are small and being collected fortnightly so not big enough plus the wind will blow the stuff everywhere. Typical of our council and I reckon even less people will bother now.

We have green wheely bin, non recyclable waste,

Purple wheely bin glass

Blue wheely bin, paper card, cardboard, metals, plastics etc

Brown wheely bin garden waste,

On fortnightly collections, so green and brown one week, blue and purple the next.

Tis most civilised...
