Hmmmm so they want bottles but they dont want the bottle tops, thats nice gota take all the tops off now.

what a waste of time

so they want plastic, but they don't want plastic? eh?

If the grey bins are for Magazines, junk mail, newspapers, office paper, windowless envelopes, paper bags e.t.c then what the hell are them blue bags for!?!?!?

They haven't thought this through properly have they?

Me have no problems with all this crap, me have one bin and one bin only, and everything goes into that one bin lol

Ive had a grey bin for months now.

I have 3 bins now - green, grey and brown!!!

I never use the brown one (garden waste) - wonder if I can put it in the grey bin

Classic - Comment of the day

That is Recycling

is tha t cos u live in a high rise like nelson mandela towers next flat along to del-boy and rodders ? cushdie, luvly-jubbly !!!

Aye lol

lol we got ours the other day only problem we got with it is our back yard is that small we having problems getting to bins in there now

I like the idea, but mine's full and has been for weeks!

So if they want plastic drinks bottles, but not tetra packs or polystyrene, i'm guessing that includes the HDP (high density polystyrene) plastic milk bottles? CONFUSED!

Urrr
My Grey bin, that looks more like a charcoal bin arrived today.
Along with the instructions and calendar too.

Jesus its complicated,
i'm sure were all going to make mistakes.

Plastic Bottles but no lids.
No shredded paper in the paper bin its nuts.

Looks like i'm part of the equation now

First post updated with booklet download

Picture taken from Booklet lol

I gots one too, its more black than grey.

Fook recycling and all this stupid willy nilly about bottle tops, I'll be using the old bin until its full, then filling the black one with rubbish aswell!
Obviously disguising the crap with the odd plastic bottle on top

your not supposed to crush the plastic bottles.
I reccomend puttng them in last on the top
