what to do

you can't put them in the normal rubbish

How would they know? Do your dustmen go through the rubbish? ;-)


Yes. They do.

Agreed. I had a sharp note written on a scrap of cardboard the other
week, saying that if I put out tissues with the waste paper for
recycling, they wouldn't take any of it. Reasonable comment, I
suppose, except that I don't use tissues for blowing my nose etc,
only for cleaning my specs, but they're not to know.

Different matter with stuff in the recycle bin. The wrong material
could contaminate the whole batch.

so they pretend

how the wrong sort of paper can make the tins glass and plastic
bottles unrecyclable is anybody's guess

with tissues, there's a potential health issue.


And I bet lots of used face-masks are now going to end up in the paper
recycling bin.

or. just at the roadside - ssen that.

Somebody left a tissue on our common staircase. Obviously a
biohazard. I disinfected the stair with bleach!

Should've used a flamethrower. Could do with a new distraction in the news.

Actually, I did mention to one of the neighbours that one option I was
considering was to set it on fire :-)
