Idiots.

They are only idiots if they are going to be remade into glass,
If it is going to be road fill it doesn't matter.

Then there are auto sorters now and they may have to sort the stuff
anyway if a few idiots put the brown glass in the clear bin.

Ok, so why do they make a big thing about separating them all out?
Then moan like feck when people do make the odd mistake?
Like I said, idiots.

I should imagine it depends on the price and demand for glass. Obviously
sorted glass is more valuable but if demand is low then you might as well
mix it and use it for road fill or whatever else they do with it. If the
price rises, you don't have to retrain the public to go back to sorting if
you've still got separate collection bins.
