Use the WHITE SACK for waste paper only, i.e. newspapers, magazines, junk mail, yellow pages etc.
Do not put any domestic refuse, nappies, books into the sack as these can not be recycled. Take care when presenting your sack for collection to prevent problems of spillage and windblown paper.
Use the BLUE SACK for plastic bottles only, i.e. milk, shampoo, pop, washing-up plastic bottles etc and metal cans/tins and foil.
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.
