During COVID-19 we've been collecting up to 20% more black bin waste than usual and up to 10% more green bin recycling. Here's our top tips to start recycling around the house and squeeze more into your green bin.
Make space in your green bin
This video demonstrates some ways you can make more space in your green bin!
- Squash bottles and put the lid back on
- Pull the flaps up on cartons to flatten them
- Squish cans
- Break down boxes
Sorting solutions
It's a good idea to have a few places in your house where you can put recycling before taking it to your wheelie bin.
- Have 2 indoor bins, one for general waste and one for recycling. Colour code or label them so they don't get mixed up!
- A cardboard box or crate can fit under sinks, counters or coffee tables
- If you're tight on space, hang a bag on the back of a door!
