A third bag requires a tag, which can be bought at many local outlets. I do believe it costs a buck.

As far as I am aware the stuff we can't recycle will go to a landfill site. That's what will go in our wheelie bins. We also have a white bag for paper, a blue bag for tins and plastic bottles, a blue box for glass (bottles, jars etc.)
