I like to think I recycle everything I can. If the occasional %26#039;accident%26#039; happens, I%26#039;m not aware of it.

• i live in Benfleet in Essex, in a small block of flats, and we don%26#039;t have to recycle anything their is no other collection other than the standard rubbish collection, so to answer your question, no i don%26#039;t recycle, council won%26#039;t let me or collect it
• I try my best but sometimes I get a bit confused as to what is recyclable. If in doubt..I trash it.
• if I cant take it back for a deposit than I recycle it.I go so far as to cut out the bottoms of PRINGLE containers and recycle the steel bottom and put the cardboard tube into the cardboard bin,also beer caps and the steel lids from frozen juice tops and bottoms.My wife says I%26#039;m anal about recycling but OH WELL
• I don%26#039;t cheat and prefer to re-use as much as is possible, before turning things in to be recycled. I also aim to recycle as much on my home ground, so that CO2 is not produced carrying it away to some other place.
  
  Composting is great, because your output is valuable compost that enriches your soil as well as improves plant growth (thereby getting plants to recycle some more CO2 in the future).
  
  My local authority has been the no.1 recycler in my country, so we are helped by having a comprehensive system to help us here. I also buy products that are low on packaging content, so there is less to be recycled/dumped too. Cheating%26#039;s not worth it, as it helps push up local taxes (dumping costs etc) and hurts the environment for future generations.
  
  Hope these thoughts help. Good luck, and don%26#039;t feel bad about what you do, just work out easy ways to be a more effective recycler! Rob

• i only recycle items that my recycle collectors take, i dont recycle stuff that has to be driven to special places to be recycled, the fact that you have to drive to take it there undose all the good you do by recycling it
• Do I recycle ? Since I was very young I was taught this. Not %26quot;nutty%26quot; recycling but %26quot;doing your part%26quot; to be a good citizen.
  
  Then I moved to Milwaukee:
  
  Here there are %26quot;dumpster divers%26quot; galore, and right out my bedroom window! Some are %26quot;canners%26quot; and others pretend to be looking for aluminum cans when really they are window peepers, car theft artists, snatch-and-run, muggers and far far worse. My recycled mail was %26quot;gone through%26quot; as well.
  
  I have had to form plans to keep the garbage cans inside all week and try to catch my city trash truck . This has not been agreed to by all and not worked .
  
  If I go up the alley to the back door in the next block , 24 hours a day there are people lurking by the dumpsters and recycle bins. Sometimes these individuals move the recycle into the empty trash canisters looking only for aluminum. All the recycle of many households is then in the trash. All the lids are open for the wind to carry debris all over and the trash bags are torn apart by so-called %26quot;dumpster divers%26quot; looking for the aluminum.
  
  When you call the police, maybe the guys get a ticket for trespassing and they are back in a couple days. We are powerless with the invasion and in spring it will be every twenty minutes there is a stranger on the properties.
  
  At 6:15 this evening my doorbell rang and a total stranger thug wanted a game-player he says he hid by my recycle cans I was threatened badly and wish I did not have to stay here tonight. While I write this the police called about this thug.
  
  Do I recycle?
  
  HOW and WHY? my source is history of trying to keep the trash in the trash cans with the lids closed.
