Coventry doesn't offer plastic recycling, so all of our plastic bottles used to go into the wheely bin. It is possible to recycle it in Warwickshire so we started saving bottles and taking them to a recycling point whenever we were in the area.

The plastic bins haven't been emptied since Christmas. Our bags of recycling have been steadily filling up until this morning when I finally got fed up with them cluttering up the kitchen and dumped everything in the wheely bin.

I hope the local paper recycling bins have been emptied because we've got a box full of paper and card waiting to go. We used to leave the paper and card recycling outside the house until some wanker stole our recycling box.
