Do you recycle?

Answer the poll and let us know what items you recyle at home.

hmmmm... if you say about recycling, i meant a little

Ive got a brilliant recycling bin in my room. - An old shoe box. I put anything that needs to be recycled in there and when it gets full it goes in the recycling wheelie bin. Great! The best bit is the bin itself is recyclable but is long lasting. Ive been using my shoe box for over a year now.

OK admittedly its corners are held together with tape................But still

the main reason that I find myself not putting things in the recycling bin is because its outside so you idea of a shoebox is really good then we coulod have one in everyroom and stay in the warm indoors :P

It can be difficult to be motivated to take recycling out to the bin, especially when it's cold and dark - the last thing you want to do is go outside! I tend to stack everything up in the kitchen until I have loads and then I'll take it out to the green bin but maybe the shoebox, or just a special bin, in each room is a better idea. At least the kitchen will look tidier then You could have a designated day each week when you take the recycling out to the big bin,

It will be easier and quicker to have a shoe box in your room.

and more people will recycle.

The shoe box idea sounds really good, easy and convenient.  The council in our area provides us with reusable bags to recycle paper, boxes for bottles, clear plastic bags for garden rubbish and bags to recycle batteries all this is collected every fortnight.  You could always contact your council to suggest these ideas if they are not already providing them.

Hi  I have seen special recycle boxes for sale in supermarkets. These might help motivate people to recycle and they have flap lids so you can tip them out into your recycle bin. We just have to stay focussed on doing our bit and not getting lazy as it is easy to not bother.

as soon as the recycle boxes have filled up, then you could go throw the bits inside the big giant recycling...er...boxes, like near Waitrose and Tesco
