Yo-yo Recycling

Today was the first morning of our city’s new recycling programme. We can once again only recycle 1 & 2 plastics and now we have to alternate our recycling – one week paper/cardboard, the next plastic, cans, glass. The problem of course with this system is that at 6:30am in the morning wandering around the house bleary eyed trying to get to work is not the greatest time to be working out which week is which. I must have got it right though as it was gone when I got home. I have a feeling that some people will find it just too hard and end up stuffing all their recycling in the rubbish. It will be interesting over the next few weeks to see how much recycling gets put out in our street – maybe I’m the least organised person in the street and just don’t know it!
