Why do they make it so hard?

I take my hat off to you LyndaW, I am ashamed to say I am not very good at the recycling malarkey! I was once talking to a person who was working at a council run recycling centre, he told me that rubbish is not quite as recycled as many of us believe!

I'm really making a big effort to not use or buy so much plastic. We compost already and I do recycle but supermarkets seem intent on making me fail. The bottle you can recycle but the cap 'you should check with local recycling'. What does that mean? Do I phone my council and ask if a particular supermarket's mayonnaise lid is recyclable in my area? Surely not!

And why can you ask for 'no bags' when online shopping and then they deliver all the frozen stuff in plastic bags??
