Targeting ‘forgotten’ recycling areas

Donal Hickey says it’s time to look beyond the kitchen.

A FEW short years ago who could have foreseen a day when the average Irish home, accustomed for so long to putting all its waste into one bin or bag, would have up to three bins for different types of waste?

Undoubtedly, decent progress has been made in relation to recycling, but while recent research shows people are recycling materials from the kitchen and using their green bin, they are still slow about recycling materials from other rooms in the house.
