Black sacks for general waste Pink sacks for "recycle" waste

The pavements seem to have mountains of pink sacks put out for
collection. My estimate is 10x what is normally put out for
collection. It does seem to indicate how much unnecessary packaging
that we still have on what we purchase.

Blue bin collection + food waste he food waste collected to be turned
into compost. Blue bin contains paper/cardboard in one section, glass,
plastic, tins, metal in the main body of the bin.

That did get me thinking. Despite the claims that the EU governed our
every move, no two councils have the same recycling. And it is very
confusing.

It surely isn't beyond man's abilities to make sensible re-cycling
arrangements? That are universal?

Mate tells me not to crush drinks cans. He was told the machines don't
then recognise them and sent them for landfill. Does that apply to dented
ones too?
