In this world of climate change and worry over wasting resources, recycling is an increasingly popular way for ordinary people to help do their bit towards keeping the planet a nice place to live.
Most councils now provide recycling services as well as their normal refuse collection and often they will provide you with the bins to do this, making recycling your household waste really easy. While the colour of these bins (as well as the general provision of said bins) varies between local authorities, as a general rule: the bins you use for your normal rubbish will be black, the paper bin will be blue and the bin for any garden waste will be green.
Even if such services aren’t available where you live, it can be a good idea to set up your own colour-coordinated bin system if you’re looking to recycle produce and cut down on the amount of waste you throw away. Ultimately, your colour system is up to you and doesn’t really matter as long as you can remember which bin is which. If your council also provides some recycling bins, it might be worth keeping your colour scheme close to theirs so there won’t be any confusion when they come to collect the waste. When you’re separating out your waste, make sure you have provision for: paper and cardboard, plastic, glass, recyclable metals such as aluminium, garden waste and general rubbish.
Having separate bins for each thing means it’s easy to tell what’s what, but there is the potential for you to end up with quite a bit of clutter.
One option you could consider for a more compact solution is the segregated bin, which comes with different compartments for different types of rubbish. These are increasingly common in public spaces and office buildings and they come in a wide range of styles so you can choose one that’s sleek and stylish. Make sure you buy one that’s clearly labelled so you don’t have to worry about people putting rubbish in the wrong segment.
Also, make sure all of your bins close securely to avoid spillages if they get tipped over. This will also help to contain any smells if the bin is hanging around for a while between recycling sessions. If they are stored outside, it will also help prevent rats or other animals getting inside the bins and causing you problems.
