• concrete. i had to bury it as the landfill didn%26#039;t want it. now i have 5 tons of topsoil on top my yard.
• Food waste %26amp; cardboard
• foodwatse and mixed plastic....the lady who said its all plastic to her....how narrow minded. why not take a little time to find out wht plastic is recyled, why and where.
  
  if the council takes it i put it out, if they dont take it i try and not use that material or find somewhere else to take it.
  
  just a shame i dont have a garden then i could make compost
• I could not recycle anything cos 95% of it goes to land fill anyway! and none of you fools think of the emmissions spent when collectiog it and processing it do you !!
  
  Until the technology improves its a big waste of time! But if it makes you feel good then im all for it.
  
  ps. thanx for encouraging them to tax us on waist
• my cell phone,computer,television,etc.
• Everything our collectors have vanished for some reason.
• A sofa. Do you want it? Collect by Friday though.
• those silly polystyrene trays the supermarket package meat in. there was a deal on the lamb mince and i couldnt resist.
  they are too small to use as seed trays, non-recyclable here, and i really cant think of anything else to use them for.
• Plastic trays, caps, and plastic baggies.
• Bloody Tetrapak juice cartons, considering how many they produce it%26#039;s about time they made them recyclable.
• There is very little that can not be recycled.
  The point is that many people who wish to recycle, do not have the proper resources at their disposal or know how to recycle.
  
  Since I have my own property, and a couple of dogs to help, I have no problem with recycling nearly everything.
  Since I detest waste of any kind, everything gets recycled one way or another.
  Most of what goes in my compost bins(which I built from recycled pallets themselves) is mainly onion peels, tomato tops, etc... Sometimes i throw some cardboard and old newspapers in as well.(The earthworms love it!)
  Many people do not have this convenience because they are living in apartments or flats in an urban environment.
  
  I do save my plastic bags and keep them in one or two other plastic bags for future use. I have given several hundred to our local greengrocer for their re-use in the past.
  When I have more than I can use or give away, they get burnt in my solid fuel boiler along with the coal or wood that I am burning at the time to help heat my house.
  Just because your local council or recycling center doesn%26#039;t recycle cardboard, you do not have to feel like you are causing any damage to the environment. Once it reaches the landfill site it will soon decompose anyway.
  
  I applaud anyone who attempts to recycle as much as they can and whenever they can. But only because it wastes much less energy to produces a new item from most recycled products than it does to produce it from the natural ore!
