I get confused about what is and what isnt 'tinfoil'.
I mailed them about catfood pouches, which the manufacturers describe as foil, but council advised me that they aren't for recycling.
Also - the foil bags from inside wine boxes - I was treating that as foil but then found that some have a plastic inner lining. I now only treat foil that can be crumpled as foil for recycling.
It would be nice if the council would put up a webpage giving more detailed info on what they consider recyclable. Councils vary according to what recycling facilities they are using, I think.
