Aluminium's rubbish recycling rate
Each week our kerbside guys pick up the blue RE-Box which, apparently, on average, 98% of us are correctly filling
So this must apply more to when things are less... 'convenient'.
Now, the consumer, being also the public at large, is often a busy, stressed, lazy, selfish, slovenly beast, so to get them/me/us to cooperate a few techniques can be applied.
While I can see some possible need, if not merit in the most common (fear, guilt, fine, threat, nanny) options, my way out front fave is... incentive.
Now, education is good too. But as with all the recycling ads (however much they cost), I kinda know and am hence rather uninspired by the target box-ticking wet dream that a can can become a can and wasting is bad and all the consequences, but... what else is there to light my 'end-benefit' fire a bit more?
Well, after several paras... it seems, there is, actually, this:
'If that isn't incentive enough .... there are even centres across the UK offering cash for cans to recycle.'
Ker-ching. Ta very much.
However, might this not rather cut across the bows of the various 'you do the work, we get the money' schemes out there already, and/or coming?
Just wondering.

I believe in freedom of speech. But I also don't like bullies on blogs, even verbal ones, as they can drive away those with something valid to say... or offer.
Subjective is fine, but well argued and substantiated is even better. Calm and polite tops. Anything that crosses my personal line will not go up. There may be reasons given, but not guaranteed.
I'm not too keen on 'Anon' as a handle (and the content usually explains why), so if that's what you opt for it may not make it. Sorry.
