What’s not to understand? Each local authority is different. All you have to do is ask for their local leaflet on recycling and by the time you’ve figured it out you’ll be on the move again.

But in the plus side you’ll have a grear collection of recycling leaflets.

I just don't understand the principles of recycling.
As I've said before, in the last 5 months we've lived in 5 different places and each has different recycling rules.
3, 4 or 5 containers. Collections weekly fortnightly or 3 weekly. Cartons etc in one bin or must go to the tip. Bottles etc as above.
And as to garden rubbish - if only we were allowed to burn it as in France.
Why aren't there any general rules?

I used to like going to the bottle bank but now we have a recycling bin!

Sorry I am being a bit dim??‍♀️ you miced from somewhere you had to put bottles in a bottle bank to somewhere you put them in a recycling bin instead? What’s the issue as surely it’s just a different way of recycling?

We're now living in a NE town where you can put your empty bottles and jars in the recycling bin.
I was horrified at first because a few weeks ago we were staying in a place where you had to use a bottle bank.
And you had a special little bucket for food waste.
Does anyone understand the reasoning?
