taxed for refuse collection

Taxing the waste does not solve the problem, the problem is unnecessary packaging provided by the food suppliers – how much of the “waste” you dispose of is actual waste, and how much is discarded packaging? Bring back the milk bottle for a start.

In addition to recycling paper, cans and garden cuttings via the usual boxes we regularly recycle glass and cardboard to the centre in Thurso. We keep our bottles in those stackable boxes while cardboard is 'tetris'd into the largest box to make it easy to transport.

We take the kids along to the centre and let them sort the bottles & jars into different colours, then make a game of getting them to put the glass into the right holes.

I know they take wood, shoes and clothing but wasn't aware of facilities for plastic bottles - I'll take a closer look next time I'm in.

I agree that manufacturers should be made more accountable - especially for the use of that horrible messy stuff polystyrene. At least if they used shaped recycled cardboard (as some admittedly do) then it too could be recycled.

You really were honest. What happened to nicking them from the back of the shop and then taking them round to the front for the refund?
No that's what I call real recycling!
