Meet Toye Ogunleye, a recycling manager who’s simplified what plastics we should be focusing on. Forget the confusion, just remember the acronym BPTT: bottles, pots, tubs, and trays. Simply clean ’em, remove any film, and recycle. Easy peasy! 🍶🥫
But what’s a no-no for your recycling bin? 🚫 Batteries top the list as they can ignite fires in recycling centres – yep, scary stuff! Gary Oshunrinde from Veolia Camden warns that other culprits include electricals, vapes, broken glass, and even cling film.

And here’s some good news for the eco-friendly folks: paper bags are almost always recyclable. So, let’s reduce that plastic waste and opt for paper when we can!
Small changes, big impact. Let’s all do our bit to make recycling a bit more straightforward—planet Earth will thank you! 🌱💚
