Recycling

Does anyone recycle? There is a programme on BBC2 about recycling and it makes me think I should be recycling.

So what if anything does anyone recycle?

Stewart what do you recycle?

bottles, plastic, paper the things I could think of and I imagine it would reduce your rubbish bags.

We recycle.
The council provide us with boxes and bags - bags for paper, and boxes for cardboard, tins/cans, glass.
We alsohave brown wheelie binsw for garden waste - which the council remove to re-cycle into compost or something.

EDIT: I used to have 2 rubbish bags a week, now I only have one since starting re-cycling

Yes there are the big recycling centres in the supermarkets etc but nothing provided by the council looks like I will have to work my own out - and make sure I don't get something too big that I can't lift it when full.

Erm - glass, aluminium, paper, magazines. Plastic carrier bags I either use as bin bags or give back to the supermarket for recycling.
