And that's why I'd start making it clearer on the side of the vessel you are literally putting that recycling into. That's not too difficult and it's a start. Where I live we have some info but it's vague and doesn't mention, for example. food stained paper (which I happen to know you cannot recycle here). We don't even have compost available in my current flat, where as down the road in my old place (the same council) it was! There's no excuse for that kind of difference in waste management program and that's another thing they could easily improve on. It doesn't need to be too difficult.
- mmt 8y agoSince you mention your flat, I must still insist on it actually being too difficult for the general public. Just exactly how many separate vessels, with frequently changing "clear" labelling are people going to have to keep inside their homes? I do agree it doesn't need to be too difficult, but I think the only way that can happen is if the sorting is moved way downstream. The primary reason I sort at home is because of the economic incentive of a larger black bin (landfill) costing more, whereas everything else is unmetered.
- kingosticks 8y agoI'm referring to the large communal recycling vessels in the basement that people empty their stuff into a few times a week. There are three of these and they are emptied every so often.
- mmt 8y agoI'd expect that once people get to those, it's too late. They've already done as much sorting as they're going to do. However, I've never lived anywhere with that arrangement, so maybe I'm missing something.
