Recycling

Apart from bottle banks, does anyone know if the council is meant to provide any other recycling facilities?
It seems to be harder and harder to lead a 'green' life - in germany they have been sorting their rubbish for recycling for years, why not here?!
Have nice days

In france

At least in large cities, we have 3 garbage cans. One is for glass ( picked up once a week ), one for plastic and paper ( picked up twice a week ) and one for everything else ( picked up twice a week ) If you have chemicals ( like paint, cleaning fluids, etc )you can take them to a special bank, once a month. And used batteries can be deposited in special containers in stores and many public places.
It seems to work fairly well. I hear it is just the beginning, they are planning to refine the sorting out, once people have learnt their lesson.

I agree!

being green at grass roots is so simple, but it has such a big impact. I wish the governmet would sort out a similar scheme to Germany too, surely it wouldn't be hard?
I wonder how it would go down with the public?
We're the public and we want it!
