We decided to make our two large under-counter bins solely for council recycling and soft plastics respectively, and added a small food caddy and a tiny five litre flip top bin for actual rubbish. We did this because we realised just how much soft plastic was going into our council black bin and felt there must be a better way. “The top thing residents can do is to make sure they only put the correct things in the blue recycling bin. So if you’re still wondering what your new year resolution might be – switch to a mini bin, it’s transformational! The Eco Matters Column is a community-led project run by local volunteers.
