Exactly!

Oh, and don't forget to put your recycle box at the curb.

In Great Britian: ....."Cornwall's verdant lanes are now becoming better known for being littered with an assortment of multi-coloured rubbish bags as the council forces residents to separate recycling into six different containers.

Richard Madeley, who has a holiday home in the area, said the system is causing his beloved corner of the county to become a "disgrace".

The television presenter is one of 250,000 households forced to laboriously separate paper into blue bags, cardboard into orange sacks, glass into a black plastic box, plastics and tin into a red bag and garden waste into a brown wheelie bin - not forgetting the black bag for ‘non-recyclable’ waste.

The 56-year-old said: "It is really awful to see all these coloured bags and boxes littering our countryside.”

Cornwall Council is just the latest local authority to introduce more separate bin collections, with some providing residents with up to nine bins, including a slop bucket for food waste, in order to boost EU-imposed recycling targets. ...."
