Recycling Rules: The New Neighbour's Bin Mix-Up

Good morning! Are you the new neighbour?

Morning! Yes, I moved in on Saturday.

Lovely! I'm Margaret, from number twelve.

Um, do you know why they didn't empty my bins?

Ah. Let me have a look.

Oh dear. There's a pizza box in the glass bin.

And food in the paper bin, I'm afraid.

Wait, there are different bins for everything?

Yes, four of them. It's a bit confusing at first.

Ugh, in my old flat we had just one!

Okay, it's quite simple, really.

Blue is for paper and cardboard.

Green is for glass bottles and jars.

And the little brown one?

That's for food waste. They turn it into compost.

Oh, so that's why it smells so bad!

I'm really sorry. I must look like a terrible neighbour.

Not at all! Everyone gets it wrong at first.

I once put a lamp in the glass bin!

Really? A whole lamp? Ha!

Right. I'll sort everything out now.

Good lad! And I'll make us a cup of tea.

Oh, thanks! Could you check my work after?

Of course. I'll be the bin inspector!

Next week, I promise, my bins will be perfect!
