How Much Do You Know About Recycling?

6. The garbage men make their living recycling. Don't want us to do it.

10/10 we truly need it!🙏🏻

Well done the planet could do with a few more like me 7/10

10/10 That's because I recycle everything I can. Everyone should if they care about the environment. .

8/10 well done

5/10 Well, it could have been worse! Still, you're no eco warrior.

5/10 We don't have recycling.

10/10 on a quiz about recycling.

I'm not an eco warrior based on this quiz, but that doesn't in my view translate into someone who doesn't believe in recycling.

It really depends on what company you have for recycling. Our you can’t recycle green, red, and brown bottles. Also for plastic’s you can only recycle 1&2

10/10. Well done! The planet could do with a few more people like you!

Well done the world can do with people like you.

Where I live almost everything recyclable is done so at the curb, or taken to a location within 5 miles of the house, for electronics. It is great! Most participate!!

Where I live, we can recycle most things (the most recent to be added is worn-out fabrics - sheets, towels, drapes etc.) but all items including those in the blue (plastics, paper etc.) and green (compostable waste) weekly pick-up bins have to be pre-sorted and they’re strict about it, too. One forbidden item and everything is left behind - it’s up to you! Electronics, batteries etc., can be kept for scheduled pickups several times a year or taken to specific depots at any time. Small reusable items can, by appointment, be collected from the home by several different charities every few weeks. Garden refuse in compostable bags is picked up every second week from early spring through late fall and larger items such as tree branches can be taken to the composting depot at no charge. In the spring, with proof that you live in the area, you can get free compost for your garden from the same place. I could go on and on but suffice it to say that I send one plastic bag to the landfill every 10 to 12 weeks, 5 bags a year at the most! I would not even need to do that were it not for the excess unrecycleable packaging on some products, styrofoam, bubble strips and peanut type box fillers for example. It never fails to frustrate me that the box can be recycled but not the packaging. Well, that’s my rant for today!

Q5 is good! They must have very strong teeth, and an armoured digestion system if they can “consume” glass bottles!
