Do not put any domestic refuse, nappies, or plastic toys into the sack as these can not be recycled. Take care when presenting your sack for collection to prevent problems of spillage. Wherever possible, wedge the sack between other containers.
Use the blue box for glass jars and bottles only. Rinse debris from glass containers before putting them in the box. Wash out your box occasionally as this will help keep it clean
Use the green sack to recycle your clothes, bedding, curtains and footwear.
EVERY BODY GOT THAT? GOOD!!

That was the first instruction we got but then at the beginning of this year it changed and we were told to put the cans in the blue sack with the plastic bottles and only put glass in the blue box.

Re: where do you keep yours?

Some councils now aren't allowing envelopes, which have the plastic windows, in the white sacks, as it contaminates the resulting recycled paper.

Soon they'll have us all actually recycling the stuff at home, making useful stuff out of papier mache.

I have.

No one told me.

I've probably made some poor devil all sticky by mistake then.

I have a policy on this. If indoubt I just shred it so no one knows what is was .
I shred quite a bit of non sensitive paper work as well. I always think it will be harder to rebuild the little cross cut strips of bank statements etc if you have plenty of other paper shredded in there as well. A bit like mixing up many jigsaw puzzles and then trying to do them without the pictures from the box.

If i havent got a lot of envelopes i'll cut out the plastic window and put the envelope in the recycling. But thanks for the tip Neil, it def will be easier putting them in the shredder. Will try that one.

You could go really green, and use the shredded paper as bedding up pet's corner.

Re: where do you keep yours?

I have a blue box for the tins and glass jar ect.. and a bag for the news papers but to tell you the truth it is hard work to sort the things out but now if you dont you will get a fine off the council or they will tag your bin with a rader tag so watch what your doing

Re: where do you keep yours?

Blue box and blue sack live in the back yard;I hate slugs too but the kitchen isn't big enough for the box even if I wanted it in the house! Paper sack and cardboard live under the stairs;paper also gets shredded to make bedding for the guinea pig (KP to his friends because of his uncanny resemblance to Kevin Pietersen)
