This is a list of all the things that you can take yourself to the Recycling point on the Poligono of Ciutadella or any of the others on Menorca. As you can see there are some things that you have to pay for, but it looks relatively cheap.
The problem is that some people don´t want to pay anything at all, even if it is a small amount and either dump it in the green bin or fly tip it somewhere. I can just hear them saying "We pay for them to take our rubbish away so we shouldn´t have to pay at the Recycling point" The problem with this is that we pay for our rubbish collection for mainly organic stuff and not any old crap that people can´t be bothered to take to the recycling point.
It is up to us to try to keep down the amount of waste, be it by using less plastic, making new things out of old ones, taking unused items to the local charity shop to name a few.
On the list is old paint, and on a previous blog I wrote about how to recycle old paint!
There are so many opportunities to get rid of stuff correctly that I am amazed that still people have a problem with it.
