What is the point of trying to recycle when the bins don't get emptied because of the wrong type of plastic?
Over here we have 3 types of bins, black, brown and then 3 small boxes for paper, plastic and glass.
The black and brown bins are simple, brown is garden and food waste, black for everything else, but the other one is where I have a problem with.
It appears that the plastic bin is only for certain types of plastic and God forbid that if there is one bit of wrong plastic in there that the whole thing gets left.
How can they take a milk bottle but not the plastic that was covering a new mattress? Both is made from plastic but 1 is the correct type of plastic and the other isn't so they leave the whole lot which then end up in the black bin.
This is happening while everywhere you see signs saying we need to recycle more.
