everything apart from food, glass, or hazardous substances, and plastic bags, but all containers must be cleaned and crushed if possible. hubby is no doubt your recycling man.

ohh and he just said textiles can also be put in.

Your local council will advise when this service commences as it will be one week blue bin the other wee black bin. hope it starts soon as my blue bin is full

Thing is............I can remember the days BEFORE they brought in the black bags in the cage.....when the binmen were built like brick sh1thouses because they lifted an aluminum bin from everyones back garden out to the bin lorry............

Answer: In your blue bin we need clean material for recycling. If the material is not clean, the odours produced will attract flies to lay their eggs leading to maggots. To easily avoid this, rinse all your tins, drinks cartons, plastic bottles, tubs and trays. The full list follows:



Material
Action required

Clean cardboard (all types)
Please flatten

Clean food and drinks cans
Please rinse out

Aerosol cans
Need to be empty

Drinks cartons

(Tetra Pak type material)
Please rinse out and flatten

Clean plastic bottles
Please rinse out and flatten

Clean plastic pots and tubs
Please rinse out and flatten

Clean plastic food trays
Please rinse out

Textiles (clothes, towels etc)

I just got this off North Lanark Council web site, looks like the both of us may have been wrong



Never mind nothing like a good arguement over something daft

I can now laugh at William he obviously doesn't know his job well enough as he says aerosols are a no no.

love it when he gets stuff wrong

In the flat - everything goes down the chute.

Although I complain quite a lot about the bin men. They do a job I don't fancy.

Can anyone remember when they went on strike in the early 70's.

I can remember mountains of black bags festering for weeks.

Not much recycling back then.

that reminds me of when they all went on strike a few years back, William had to go under cover in and out the house as a few of the neighbours where not to happy and were harassing William in the street like it was his fault. He gets it in the neck quite a bit too when at work. They all do afraid to say that most bin men get treated like they are the lowest of the low when it comes to jobs from the public and thier bosses. I certainly couldn't do his job either but do have to wash his work stuff.
