How the fuck did they see this?
Don't you put them in black bags? And then put the black bags in the wheelie bin???

They have cameras that look down into the skip as your wheelie bin gets emptied.
Big Brother or what eh?

He opened the bin and looked into it, checking for stuff that shouldn't be in there. They do it a lot round here, don't they do it where you are?

We're not allowed to put black bags in our recycling bin. We have many and various hunks of plastic in our garden for chucking stuff away.

We have a brown bin for:

"ALL raw and cooked food scraps / peelings (including bones)
Tea bags and coffee grounds
Envelopes (not with plastic windows)
Shredded paper
Toilet & kitchen roll centres
Egg cartons
Cardboard food packaging (including cereal packets)
Brown cardboard
Grass cuttings
Woody prunings (max diameter 3" / 80mm)
Real Christmas trees
Straw / hay (including the bedding of small animals eg hamsters)"

We also have a separate caddy to go in the kitchen for food waste.


Then we have separate boxes:

"1 box for newspapers, magazines, junk mail, white directories and Yellow Pages
1 box for glass bottles and jars
1 box for food & drinks cans, aerosols, cartons (e.g tetra paks) and all plastics (please rinse any item which has come into contact with raw meat). Please note cling film or expanded foam-like plastics are not accepted."


And a separate green bin for regular household waste.

Its all there... I see that they've added now that we're allowed to wrap food waste in newspaper to go into the brown bin, so I guess I won't have to wave my piece of paper at the bin man now.
