sort out the recycling mess already

What's the point of having all these different bins if the council's just gonna send it all to the same place anyway, I mean I've seen the blokes chucking everything in one truck, so why bother. I was talking to a customer the other day, a builder, and he said the same thing happens on his sites, all the recycling gets mixed up with the rubble.

I think we should just have one bin for actual recyclables, like metal and glass, and make sure the council actually sorts it properly, not just pays some company to take it away. My wife works at a vets and they've got a decent system for recycling, maybe we could copy that, she says it's all about making it easy for people to do the right thing. I've got two apprentices and they're always asking about why we can't just make things simpler, and I reckon they're right.

It's all well and good talking about simplifying, but what happens to the plastics and cardboard if we only have one bin for metal and glass?
