00:00Would you like to see the bins swapped? I'd like to see a small grey bin and a
00:06small blue bin. That's what I'd like to see. Does that mean less card recycling though? Paper and card?
00:14I think we need to reduce our waste and our recycling. I'm not confident, as I say, I'm not
00:23confident that our recycling actually recycles. I think it feels nice to the
00:27heart, but I'm not sure it works up here for me. I think what the system that we've
00:32got now, it's the cardboard in the blue bin and the plastics in the
00:38brown bin. I think that's very confusing for a lot of people, so I think as long
00:44as that's swapped, that would work better. That's my opinion.
00:50Would there be more recycling, do you think? Yes, I do, because people would stop putting all the
00:58rubbish in the black bin, as opposed to separating them and putting them in the correct bins, as I think people don't really take the time to put the rubbish in the correct bins, because they have to think about where they're putting it.
01:12But you think swapping blue and brown would? I think, because it doesn't make sense to
01:17put plastics and glass in the brown bin and then the cardboard in the blue bin.
01:22It doesn't make sense to me, because of the colour coordination.
