Ther is no rhyme or reason.


Here they have bins for clear and coloured glass. I wonder who then
sort the brown, the green from all of the other colours?


Recycling centres can sort plastic and glass by colour automatically
these days.

They can even separate the PET bottles from the caps as the bottles sink
in water and the caps float.


What about the collars on the neck that form part of the tamper evident
seal? With a plastic bottle they may be a different plastic and with a
glass bottle they can be plastic or metal. The metal ones can be quite a
long sleeve. Do they separate the parts after crushing them?
