True, I might still check with Haringey Enterprise that it starts this week.
It will, I hope, prevent Mr E's weekly joke as he holds up a marg container: "Can we recycle these, tubs?"

Sorry, I don't understand - Haringey has been collecting our plastic (milk bottles etc) for two years or more. How come this hasn't reached you?

Where do you live Paulie? If the box is contaminated with non recylables, all of it will not be recylced, that's what I was told by out recycling guys when we put marg tubs in the green bins.
Haringey's recycling various from area to area and will come as no surprise that the more comprehensive services are to the west of the borough, or at least use to be.

Milk bottles, yes. There are several other grades of plastic which Haringey's recycling service hasn't touched till now. The info deficit is not ours, Paulie.

This is about items made from mixed plastics basically yog pots, marg containers and plastic trays etc. The only plastics anyone should have been putting into the box were bottle shaped ones. Anyone putting mixed plastics will have had their recycling thrown away as it is contaminated.
There must be a new system (Camden have also introduced this) which now enables sorting of the various plastics.
I just hope they come up with some way to recycle batteries.
Pretty soon I won't be needing a wheelie at all!

My bad! As our transatlantic friends irritatingly say.
Just re-read Liz's post. Sorry!

Just spoke to Enterprise (the company not the starship) and they have confirmed that this scheme begins this week. Better and better...
