Follow these three simple steps to pack your recycling bin 1. Bundle up your newspapers, cardboard and advertising mail, or put them in supermarket bags and tie them up.
2. Squash your plastic containers and put all plastics, aluminium and steel cans in supermarket bags and tie them up.
3. Put your glass in the bottom of your green bin with heavy bags of paper on top to prevent wind blowing your recycling out of the bin.
