It occurs to me, that we throw out either food waste or recycling
stuff. What would you throw away that doesn't fall into either of
those categories?

I'd like to get rid of the 'general waste' bin.


It is going to vary from person to person and possibly depending upon
what is accepted for recycling. I produce little or no food waste in
a week. My general waste is about one swing bin full every week. I
can't say I have ever analysed what it consists of, but I suspect
most of it will be packaging of types that are not accepted for
recycling.

The annoying items in this category here are juice cartons, egg cartons,
and 'pill strips', or whatever they're called, and all aerosols.
