Recycling – to bin or not to bin?

This is the question we know is asked by residents across the Liverpool City Region. Is this recyclable? … Which bin does this go in? … Can I throw this away? …What do I do?.In fact across the UK:

  • 66% of UK households are uncertain about how to correctly recycle or dispose of one or more items.
