With all our 5 houses bins at the top of the driveways together , one of the recycling lads grabs all the bags while the others do the bins. But then just comes back with the empty bags , putting one in each bin but quite often not the correct ones. I've often found someone elses blue bag back inside mine, but they haven't emptied all of it completely and there's bits of amazon boxes etc fell out into the bottom of my blue bin.
One of the neighbours had put polystyrene in their blue bin last time, and rather than reject the whole bin they at least took it out , then put the emptied bin wheels back on to the polystyrene to save it blowing away. Depends which crew comes around , others would have put an 'Ooops' tag on and left it.
Where son lives they just bung anything into theirs and the recycling blokes don't even look inside. They don't have seperate caddys for paper and cardboard either. The whole lot goes into the bin together , including ok to put things in plastic bags .
My blue bag is already full and a week to go yet. Cut all the cardboard up flat and stacked the wine holder trays to make smaller, but still going to struggle to get much more squashed in. That's where I miss the recycling skips up at Wildwood Co-op !
