We all want to do our bit to recycle more and reduce waste. In fact, there’s even a term that describes the act of putting items into your kerbside recycling in the hope that they will get recycled: it’s called 'wishcycling'.
But there are some things that simply can’t be recycled, even if you wish they could! Throwing the wrong items in your kerbside recycling can cause a whole host of problems. These range from damaging recycling machines, to the contamination of a whole batch of perfectly recyclable materials. So even if you have the best of intentions, it’s good practice to check what items shouldn’t go into your recycling.
