I know that some countries are much better at this than others, and that some people make more of an effort to do it. I thought it would be interesting to hear how good or bad forum members from different parts of the world are on recycling.
At home we have a green bin for plastic bottles and tins, a grey bin for paper, a black bin for bottles and broken glass etc. We also have a brown wheelie bin for garden cuttings and cardboard, and then a green wheelie bin for non-recyling waste.
It sounds like a real pain but it's surprising how quickly you get into a routine of sorting the waste. So I consider myself a good recylist, but I do wonder about commercial waste here, most companies in the UK (as far as I'm aware) do not recycle at all! I find it hard now to throw stuff in the bin at work which at home I would normally recycle
