What can
I recycle

Which plastics can I put in my recycling bin?

All plastic is the same, isn’t it? Well, no. There are lots of different types. Some can be recycled at home, some can be recycled at larger local recycling points and there are some that unfortunately can’t be recycled, or at least, not at the moment.
