QUOTE (Turin Machine @ Mar 17 2018, 01:14 PM) After years of telling us to recycle more they then ensure people will recycle less. It's a debacle. And still we don't know which plastics go in which bin. Maybe councils have no idea either so they muddy the pond further by charging twice for stuff that will end up in landfill. Poor joe bloggs at the end of the line is expected to shoulder the disposal cost of something that is not of his making. Why can't all items that require plastic packaging use a product that is recyclable? If this part of the equation was rectified maybe the green waste removal would not be such a financial issue.

It's not that easy - after all WBC will only cycle some recyclable plastics, not all of them. Councils need to be forced to recycle all recyclable materials - for instance aluminium, why don't WBC recycle something so easy to recycle?

I was not aware that they didn't recycle aluminium, which shows just how much of a blind alley the public find themselves in. Plastic seems to be the main culprit so, as you say, why don't they recycle ALL plastic? Now they tell me that the humble tea bag contains plastic which is not an ideal for "green" waste. This may be logical when one thinks about it but how many of us did? No, before they start placing the burden on the tax payer they need to have a universal approach.

Where does it say you can't recycle aluminium?
