Let's talk about garbage responsibility today. Do you segregate your garbage - like all papers goes in this bin and all plastics goes in another bin? Or you just mix them up in one garbage can?

yep i segregate my waste. i just segregate it from dry and wet. But usually when I have paper waste, I usually keep it and give it to the recycling station so that I can earn a little from my waste. And also with the bottles.

Yes I do segregate garbage because a simple task like that can really help the environment for the reason that other type of things that we consider to be garbage can be processed and be used as fertilizer another thing is that the paper that we usually throw out can be processed and turned into abrand new type of paper again and through the prcess of segregation we minimize the things that the earth is consuming and the minizing the things that is polluting the earth.Hope you liked my response and have a nice day.

We have two separate collections here, one for normal household rubbish and the other for recyclable items like bottles, tins and paper, so we have black bags for rubbish non recyclable items and we have a green plastic container and a blue plastic container, paper goes into the blue one, magazines, directories etc, and plastic bottles and tins goes into the green plastic container, so everything goes into the right place, it's our contribution to help the environment and it's a great idea to be encouraged to do this by our councils.

I do recycle my garbage. I have a bin for the tin and plastic, and usually the paper goes out in a cardboard box. A lot of times I miss the paper recycling day, because we are not allowed to put the paper out until a certain time in the evening, and most times I forget, and they pick it up really early in the morning. We do not have bins for the paper, and sometimes if it is a windy day it blows all over, the the garbage people do not pick up stray paper. They will not take anything in dark bags, because they can not visibly see what is in the bags. Yes, I do recycle.
