I may not rinse out the tins - but all rubbish in the 'general' bin is bagged/double bagged. |

I would rinse out tins anyway even if not being recycled, hate the smell from some people's rubbish when the bins are out on collection day, obviously they don't rinse their stuff. I do put some of the tins in the dishwasher if I am running it, otherwise I rinse them after I have done washing up by hand, in the same water. I wear gloves to do it so the water can be very hot. |

I do wash mine out but have often wondered if I'm using more resources than I'm saving |

Oh GlasgowLass, rinsing of recyclables has caused me to have massive ridges in my tongue due to the number of times I have had to bite it since my son moved back home temporarily!! :-| |

We have 4 wheelie bins but, are lucky that we have space and created an area at the side of the house to store them. |

Gwyn I forgot Tetra packs and tinfoil, yes that goes into the blue recycling bin as well. |

A few years back, as secretary of a local club, I arranged a group visit to a Waste Management centre, where our local recycling waste is taken. It was a real eye opener. |

I wouldn't be without our wheelie bins. |

I think all councils have a problem with ignorance of what can be recycled. Ours regularly send out a newsletter saying what can be recycled but they too have had contaminated loads because things like nappies have been put in the recycling bin. |

I sometimes wonder if it is worth going to the trouble of carefully sorting my recycling. so many of the bins one sees by the kerbside have non recyclables (this council) in them. Will that earn that all my hard work now will have to go into general waste as it is contaminated. |

You don't want to make your bin too heavy - it looks suspicious, and I have to drag mine up four steps :-| |

I must confess to putting some garden stuff in the general rubbish, the stuff that you can't put in your garden bin! ;-) |

I've found rotten fences break down quite well after a while and can be shoved in a black bag and placed in the middle of the 'general waste' bin. |
