The flat I visit regularly out of borough the wheelie bin lorry empties the recycling wheelie bins whilst the operatives take a wheelie bin up each side of the street and tip the contents of the residents green boxes into them.  The lorry catches up with the operatives and empties the wheelies and they carry on up the street. 

They collect much less recycling because they only collect tins, cans and plastic bottles one week and the newspapers and cardboard the next.

You will see something like this happening along the red route towards Hangar Lane.

Squashing anything like cans and plastic bottles makes a lot more space in your green box.

There are several gadgets for crushing cans, tetrapaks and plastic bottles on the market if you can't by hand but I prefer a hard shoe.  I noticed recently that the Persil washing-up bottle must have had a make-over as the plastic is much thinner.  That will make it easier to flatten.
