00:00What would you like Sheffield Council to start recycling that they don't already?

00:04Probably things like polystyrene food containers that you get from take-aways.

00:09They go in a bin and I'm sure there could be a better use for them going into the normal recycling bin.

00:17Could you tell me what you'd like to see Sheffield Council start recycling that they don't at the moment?

00:23Yeah, mostly take-away containers and things. Stop it getting thrown all over the floor and the kerbside.

00:29Is that a big need do you think?

00:31Yeah, I think a lot of people eat out these days and it's one of the biggest things you see in the landfills.

00:39Is there anything that you think Sheffield Council should be recycling that they don't at the moment?

00:44I think to stop recycling, to make it even better, is if things weren't coming in packages

00:54or if we had another means that we could take our own packaging to put the things in that we collect, that would be better.

01:06Is there anything that you'd like to see Sheffield Council recycle in their kerbside collections that they don't already?

01:14Foodstuffs, food items which are just dumped all over.

01:19Like you find that at night when people are doing partying around, they just throw food all over.

01:28So there should be a rule that they should be put in certain places.

01:35Like you see there is a movement in London which was very good.

01:41Coffee, you see this coffee, there is some bean which you put inside.

01:46So if the council could establish some of the areas where we can push them inside, that would be great.

01:56Tell me if there's anything that you'd like Sheffield Council to start recycling kerbside that they don't already?

02:01Yeah, when my daughter lives in Wales and they've started doing nappy recycling and special boxes for that, things like that.

02:09Whereas in Sheffield they don't do it, they just throw it in the refuse bin and that's it.
