Day 3 Challenge
Today is all about checking to see if you know exactly what can and what can’t go in your recycling bin in Nottinghamshire.
Recycling has been around for a long time now and most of us would consider ourselves to be keen recyclers.
However, it’s important to make sure that we’re not just recycling lots of our waste but that we are putting the right things in the right bins – we need to recycle right!
But it says recyclable on the packaging we hear you say...
Sometimes labels on packaging can be misleading so it’s good to check that the item can actually be recycled in the place where you live.
Putting the odd wrong thing in the wrong bin might not seem like a big deal but it can have serious consequences. It might mean that your bin is not emptied until it’s put right but, even worse, it could also mean entire loads of recyclables being rejected by manufacturers because they contain too many non-recyclable items that contaminate the load.
