A large number of our settlements are on the coast or within a gull's flight of it, so they're pretty much everywhere. Some are shy, while others are more confident & will come right up to you. One near me would go into a newsagent's & take their fave crisps on the regular, & several townsfolk paid for the crisps the gull took.

In the UK we recycle 70 - 80 % of all our rubbish/garbage where it's more like 30% in the US. We often have multiple rubbish wheelie bins which are different colours to denote what you should put in that particular bin. We also have boxes too. For example in my area there are three bins. A red bin for cardboard and plastic recycling, a brown bin for garden waste such as lawn cuttings and then a green bin for general waste. But then there are stacker boxes for things like glass jars and tin/soda cans. Different rubbish/garbage trucks will come around each week. Eg, one week they come empty my green bin and boxes, the next week they come and empty my red and brown bins. The idea behind this system is that all the rubbish/garbage is pre sorted by the public at your home before pickup which makes it easier for it be recycled.

[@annbottelli5682]

In most European countries we do recycling on a very serious scale. Paper, plastic, metal, glass in different colours, and kitchen waste all necessitate their own bin.

[@nessbolton]

03:28 it depends in the area but generally, most UK councils have a recycling/refuse programme. In my own area (Lancashire in the North West England area), we have 3 wheels bins, ‘blue’, ‘red’, ‘green’, ‘grey’; the blue bin is for paper and cardboard and is emptied every 2 weeks, the red bins are for glass/plastic bottles/jars as well as aluminium cans and aerosol cans, again emptied every 2 weeks, green bins are for garden clippings from trees/shrubs/grass and vegetable peelings from the kitchen these are emptied every 2 weeks in the same day as blue bins but different wagons, and finally the grey bins are for anything that can’t go in any of the other bins so polythene packaging, cooked food/meat waste, household cleaning and sanitary waste, broken items from the house that are small but not electrical. A homeowner is expected to put spent batteries in a plastic bag and place on top of the red bin, the refuse staf will pick the bag and tip into a separate compartment within the wagon, likewise electricals such as a broken toaster or kettle should be put on top of the grey bin for the refuse staff to separate. Anything that you can’t put in a bin or place on top of the bins down to the homeowner to take to the local recycling/refuse plant. This includes household furniture/mattresses/soft furnishings, large electricals such as fridges/freezers/TV’s, polystyrene packaging, old oil/fuel from cars/garden tools. In some areas there might be a Scrapman that travels around urban neighbourhoods that will collect anything metal that can be stripped down. They do this for free and they make it pay by stripping down all the components and weigh them in at a scrap yard for refund. So anything with a copper/iron/steel element is quite valuable but you’ve got to be bothered to strip down a washing machine or a dishwasher, it’s time consuming and not always a money maker if inferior metal was originally used by the manufacturers but that’s the risk the scrapman takes. There are other areas of the UK that don’t operate the same system as Lancashire but there will be similarities, they might not have as many bins or they may have a brown bag system for newspapers and cereal packets in lieu of the blue bin but the homeowner is expected to take all their bulk cardboard packaging to their local refuse themselves rather than it be collected. Some locations won’t accept small electricals and batteries being placed on top of the bin for the refuse collectors to set aside, they will expect the homeowner to their local centre. Some areas are better than others at recycling and reducing landfill to the lowest possible limit, some areas are absolutely useless and set a poor example. I hope this has helped you understand what we do in the UK and why generally our carbon footprint and harmful carbon output is so minimal compared to other countries. We invented and created the Industrial Revolution which enables the world to do so much and now we’re leading the minimising of the impact of industry to keep the planet spinning safely.

On the bin/trash we have a lot of recycling collections so a lot of bins. My council have a black bin for unrecyclables, then a green bin for garden waste, a food bin for compostables and a smaller one for the kitchen, a tub for glass, and two bags, one for paper and one for plastic and metal. I’m all for recycling but having seven bins is a bit of a pain. 😂 Hence the way of knowing what gets collected when.

@vickytaylor9155 what happens to food waste .....we only have one large bin to recycle and a plastic box for glass....we can only recycle paper ..cardboard ..cans...plastic bottles... no food trays....everything is written on the front of bin with all the thing they want and don't want if you get it wrong they put a stickers across the lid with oops written on it....l think that every part of the uk has different recycling ♻️ rules the latest is all all plastic tray films have to be recycled at the local supermarket......

The slice of bread I assume was to try for size in the toasters. There are very different sizes of toaster and bread slices. Sometimes the bread doesn't fit. You can end up with the bread wedged where you force it in or you have to toast one end then turn it round to toast the other end , it's very annoying. Clever idea taking it to try.

[@moondial1980]

To enlighten you, in the U.K. we do have many bins, I live in a flat (apartment) and we have communal bins as follows; general waste, cardboard and paper, recyclable plastic/glass/tin cans and finally kitchen waste. Four bin types in total (technically one is a box and another a mini bin, the others are wheelie bins). Some homes also have garden waste bins (one of our neighbouring blocks has one as he’s our resident gardener for the communal garden. Personally I think a light indicator is a great idea to tell you which bin it is and what day it goes out.

I live near the dinosaur sinkhole. It was there for a very long time. We have several bins. In our area we have a large green bin for garden waste, we have to pay to have it emptied (as well as paying our council tax) a large blue bin for bottles & cans etc. a small green one for paper, a small brown one for food waste & a large black bin for any other waste. Other councils differ, some have more bins some less,and some use different colours. Food bins go out every week, the black bin one week & recycling bins the next week

These are great! Most local authorities have different coloured bins for different types of waste- recycling, regular waste, garden waste, and maybe even separate paper waste. Each type has it's own collection schedule (often it's alternate weeks for recycling and household waste) and we spend hours trying to remember which week it is so we can put the right bin out. The car licence plate is a standard British licence plate - the first two letters indicate the geographical area the car was registered,, and the following 2 numbers indicate the age of the car - so you can't blame anyone for 'choosing' it.

Barm, is like a bread roll, but the dough bakes slightly firmer than a soft roll.

[@MrPaulMorris]

Bins ('trash cans'') at least three, usually colour-coded, for general waste, recyclables and garden ('yard') waste (lawn trimmings etc). There is often a separate food waste container (which should be emptied weekly) and other areas break down recyclables by type--glass/metal/paper/plastic. Each colour is collected on a different day or week. Putting out the wrong bin means it won't be emptied and it could be three weeks until the next collection. Mixing the wrong waste types means the bin won't be emptied and you get a large 'sticker of shame' telling you not to be such a naughty citizen!
