At the tip I was carrying one of the cardboard boxes towards the "Cardboard Only" skip when one of the workers there stopped me. "It's a bit full." Says he, pointing to the skip. "Stick it in with the non-recyclables." What????!!!!!
Now if I'd done that at home - put the cardboard in my wheelie bin - I'd have been liable to a fine for not recycling!!!

I read recently that last year most sorted waste went overseas to landfill.
Made me laugh all these PC people sorting their stuff, waste of time.
I think it was about 80% was deported, recyling couldn't handle it.
