I am lucky enough to live quite close to the main recycling place in Kilkenny and therefore dont have a wheelie bin.
So this is what we do:
Waste food goes into the dogs and cats and that includes cooked potato skins.
Uncooked peelings, eggshells, teabags, egg cartons and suchlike go in the compost bin in the garden.
Plastic packaging which includes trays that meat and veg come in, cartons from butter etc and milk cartons ( 2litre ) goes into a big plastic bag.
Newspapers and magazines from the papers go into a big box
All other magazines that I buy, either new- very few, or from charity shops are donated to my local library.
Cardboard also goes into a big box.
Tins and jars go into a container from Argos.

Every two weeks or so I take the lot to the recycling centre, apart from the pets, that is!

My rubbish bin is a bag attached to a frame and it takes 7 - 10 days to fill. When its full I tie the bag securely and store it until I have about 10 or so and then I take it to Green Star, Kilkenny where its weighed. Costs about 20 euro.
