Buffy you are a mine of information. Yes we all need to wash and crush for recycling. I see a person putting out recycling bags and they could have about 7 for collection if they crushed they may have 2. No logic to this the bags here cost about €3 each.

Plastic bottles, cereal boxes ,washing powder boxes, they take up alot of space in a bag. Crush it and you would get 3 to 4 times as much in.

I really feel for the persons sorting. We should think of them when we drop an unwashed item in a bin/bag.
