Do you do all you can to recycle ?

I do everything I possibly can. I save all my soft plastic packaging and food wrappers and take them to the supermarket once a week where they have a recycling bin. Likewise batteries. We have a black bin for waste, a blue bin for card and paper and a brown bin for plastic and tins. I also pay for a green bin garden waste collection which I find invaluable as I don’t have room to compost. It’s a trial having to find room for four bins. In this city, everything that goes into the black bin is incinerated; the rest is sorted and recycled so technically none of it should end up in landfill.

We do, plus I do really try to avoid buying anything in plastic if there’s an alternative. So laundry powder only, in cardboard, no conditioner, milk from the milkman in re-used glass, no mayonnaise/golden syrup etc. in squeezy plastic when easily available in glass or a tin.

We don’t have much food waste at all, mostly just peelings/eggshells etc., but the council collect that once a week, everything else fortnightly.
