How to Reduce Waste

Recycling: Sometimes it feels like you need to have done a masters in the subject to know what goes in what bings. Maddening that every counsel recycles different things in different ways. In Sussex the green collection bin is for general rubbish, and the black bin for recycling. My view has always been if in doubt keep it out. Otherwise danger that everything gets put in general rubbish. (See article) Recycling is frustrating overcomplicated, inconsistent mess.

 

​

Things that cannot be recycled in your household waste (Although check specific Council guidance)

  1. Compostible stuff 

  2. Anythign with a Recycling symbol 

  3. Soft plastic packaging

  4. Tetra back 

  5. Soft plastic bottles, such as toothpaste tubes, and some creams, shampoos etc(Some places such as supermarkets take them, but will need to look up)

  6. Broken Glass (Panes of glass)
