Recycling – do we really understand it?

Personally speaking I try to do my bit for recycling. It's not easy though to fully understand what can be recycled and what must be sent to landfill. If you live in an apartment block, the "can and cannot" will be posted inside the bin store. House occupiers will know if they get it wrong when the bin doesn't get emptied and a helpful little label gets attached!

Even the most obvious things I sometimes get wrong! Only recently I found out that plastic milk bottles need to be put in the recycle bin without their tops on! Apparently if the top is left on, it causes a bit of a problem when it gets crushed! Who knew?
