However unfortunately it would be extremely difficult unless there was a unified approach to kerbside recycling throughout the country. At the moment the items recycled, the type of bins and the colour of bins will vary from council to council. Whereas I currently have a brown wheelie bin for paper, plastic and cans, the neighbouring council use different coloured boxes.

What does it mean? I have heard that if there is no number inide the recycle triangle that it is a #7 or "other". Can you explain what category they fall under? thanks, Amy Why are there recycle triangle symbols on plastic bottles without a number inside? What does it mean?
