Yes we recycle. I wish we could more easily recycle different plastics. Gwyn

Yes, I've got 5 different bags/boxes plus 2 compost bins in the garden! We usually have a monthly trip to the 'dump' for recycling items which aren't collected.

Yes, everything gets recycled here, has for years now. Even the clothes get recycled...........If it's too tight........let it out! If it's too loose..take it in! If it's too short.........let it down..........too long, take it up! If it don't meet in the middle.........start worrying LOL! Only kidding........those days are long gone thank goodness! Jen

problem here is on the recycling front is that it occurs fortnightly so 1. your normal rubbish bin sits for a fortnight in the hot weather and with a normal size household cannot contain a fortnights rubbish which results in maggots and the fact that if the rubbish is not in the bin then it will not be taken . ( if that makes sense ) 2. You are given green bins for cans, glass newspapers and cardboard etc, but if the cardboard is as thick as a soap powder box they will not take it , which means you then have to ring up the council to get another vehicle to call and collect that cardboard. 3. I live 2 miles away from a refuse site but because I live 100 yards outside the council boundary I have to drive 15 miles to my council refuse depot . Oh yes bring on common sense please Twizzle

Have always recycled and I love charity shops I head there before any where else. Teens cringe at me! CAZxxxxx

Yes green box for paper and cardboard red box for tin and plastic black box for glass brown bin for garden waste, always sort it all out. Margaret

Pmsl.........CAZ, You recycling your thread as well? Jen

Yes, everything that can be: cardboard/paper, plastic bottles, tin cans, glass etc. We also have a compost bin and use it for all the peelings, teabags, eggshells, garden waste. Anything that can't be recycled we try to find extra uses for so it isn't wasted - and if we can't find a practical use then it goes to the junk modelling box for the kids. Angela

I take all my old newspapers into school to be used to cover tables then they recycle them and I put garden waste in the compost bin. Old wine bottles go to the recycling bin in Sainsbury's carpark Ali x

Yes, everything we can............., even down my 'office' shelves, which were recycled from SILs old kitchen cupboard doors Barbara..xx
