My understanding is that ‘recycling’ costs more in the long run, than it saves.
WOuld be nice to have access to some honest figures.
Absolutely - the whole thing is unforceable as well. Our the local authorities going to go through the plastic sack you put out for the dustman (refuse collector) before they allow it to go to the tip.
Whilst I agree certain items such as glass and cans in large quantities say at Christmas should be recylcled where the odd one or 2 each are used then the time and effort is not worth it.
I can remember years ago my mum keeping the glass bottles etc and we took them to a recycling centre every 2 or 3 months.
