You have hit upon something there, Bern and to some extent, Peter.
It would help us all, wherever we live & recycle, if we were told what the process was in our area that sorts and collates the different types of materials and where they go and to what use they are put.
We in Hackney use a (single) box system and the materials are sorted at the truck in the street, so no broken glass is allowed; that has to be put in the free-standing estate or pavement bins.
Why all the mystery?
