In article ,

As I've posted before people sort glass into the various colours, place
in in the nominated bins and then the truck comes along and it ALL gets
mixed up in the same load back to the 'recycling' plant.

Those date back to the original (failed) attempts to reuse the glass
as bottles and whatnot - that never worked. The giant bins with
compartments for each type of glass - the separators between the
compartments were long since taken out.

Well round here they have separate bins for each colour of glass; whether
the contents end up being combined further down the line I couldn't say.
However, the colour separation does seem to be enforced. And I've never
seen a new bin which isn't colour-coded, as you might expect.
