OK so I worded that poorly. It wasn't my intention to suggest it is only an environmental issue, in the same way as Doonhammer is wrong to suggest it is purely financial.

We have a black bin for anything, green but only for grass, plant cuttings and brown card, no soil or food and a bag for paper.
They have so many rules though, no envelopes in the paper bag, only brown card in the green bag, anybody over the age of 50 is not going to care.

Indeed, throwing away milk cartons etc is annoying.
Bristol is fairly good on the whole I feel, compared to some of the stories in this thread
Hey,
Sorry to bump this thread, but I thought it was better than making a new one
I'm also noticing that I recycle a lot more of my garbage (maybe like 30-40% or more). Just wondering how you guys store your recycling trash? I currently have a normal bin which lives under the sink, but my recyclables just live in the hallway until I can be arsed to take them out. Can some one spec me like a cool split containers bin (problem is that it has to be small-ish) or something similar?
Cheers,
Suman
P.S. Basically anything with the "3 arrows" logo can be thrown into a general recycling bin right?

ours is easy, green wheelie bin for bagged normal bin bags of non recyclable household rubbish which is emptyed every week. Blue wheelie bin for any recyclable goods emptyed every two weeks, They take plastc, glass- basically everthing recyclable, this bin is twice the size of green non recyclable of which you can get 3 bin bags of rubbish in. TBH those who don't bother recycling this day and age should be fined. It takes no extra time or effort at all
Six months late, but what Supermarket is that?

That depends what your council recycles. I take mine down to the local recycling village.

lidl have banned them, whenever i go there, most people just use cardboard boxes or empty the trolleys into the cars if they're too stubbern to buy some 5p reusable bags. (which apart from being good for the enviroment will never split or break on you)
I do like to recycle, and I can't really think about chucking everything into the bin any more, thats just wrong to me. But the annoying thing about recycling round here is we have 2 recycling boxes which just don't cut it. 1 gets filled with paper, the other with tins and bottles, then a bag of plastic bottles.
Usually they become full before collection and have to go down the recycling centre which is ok i guess, we can then recycle the tetra paks, aerosol cans and unwanted clothes on top of the other stuff.
