How are you going to see more plastic on the streets if it is being collected?
Yes it’s mixed but won’t it get separated later like they have been doing with household waste ?

Am I missing something?

Yes that's correct

If your bin is collected by Barnsley, Doncaster or Rotherham bin lorries then the waste goes to the BDR plant at Manvers where it is separated.

The confusion arises because councils like Barnsley already had segregated plastic collections and they are letting existing arrangements and contracts to expire. Remember also that councils tend not to have their own fleet but they hire bin lorries.

Also what can also confuse is that some of the segregated waste goes to holding sites before further processing.

A challenge coming up for all councils will be the response to the governments new waste strategy, which amongst other things, will be requiring councils to set up WEEKLY collections of food waste. So yet another bin?

1. Plastic is being collected and separated.

2. Chuckle Brother Square does not appeal to me.

GM is wrong on both counts.

Don't know.

Can't put plastic bags or plastic film in plastics recycling bin either so they're certainly not recycling all plastic.

That’s the issue GF mOST people on here (mainly socialists) don’t understand recycling therefore ignorance is bliss, so they seem happy to have the countryside polluted

If you drive down a major road (like the Dearne Valley Parkway or Sheffield Parkway) most of the plastic on the verges and festooned in trees is what’s blown off delivery trucks. Been nowhere near a household bin.
