plus what can / can't be put in your black box.
I have to say that although they don't compost or take glass, the recycling here in Dartford has to be one of the easiest around. Yes, I prefered it when you just used the clear bags (fewer boxes outside the door) but still... it's nice and easy and quick. If only more people used it.

Sombrero Fallout 904c2f2f-4e79-40b4-8830-16b4909b1948 The wearer of this fallout will receive many funny looks, but there can be no doubt that this is truly a king Sombrero in a world reduced to poor imitations.
Black box, I'm gonna guess, is like the green boxes we have here.
My household are crazily anal about what can go in the green box and what can't. It seems really petty and silly, but when you think about it - it's a really good thing. It makes recycling accessible.
But really, yeah - the council should post a leaflet of these guidelines to the houses with black boxes so people know what can/cannot recycle.

We've even got our 2 year old learning what goes where...he's not doing badly either! He knows paper goes in the recycling bin (not that he realises what it is yet though) and that his banana skins go in the green bin next to the sink to go in the garden....

Aww - see that's very sweet, and it also gets him into good habits of recycling. They should encourage recycling more in schools (I know that we waste a lot of paper in my school, too).
