Items that should definitely go in your recycling bin include: Aerosol cans Aluminium trays and foil (scrunched) Envelopes (including those with plastic windows) Glass, plastic, paper and metal (with exceptions) Metal pots and cutlery Pizza boxes (with no food waste).
Items that should definitely go in this bin include: ceramics, crockery and glassware that can't be donated to your local charity shop nappies (wrapped) polystyrene foam (some local councils have a drop off service for polystyrene) unavoidable food waste (if you don't have a compost bin). It's important that you learn the bin lid colours in your council area, as well as those in any areas where you stay regularly, such as holiday houses and the homes of friends and family. Remember, a little contamination in the wrong bin can mean it all goes to landfill.
