How to Recycle: With Biffa CEO

The Big Green Money Show

Why is recycling green? What can I put into my bins? Did you know you shouldn't recycle broken drinking glasses?

Deborah and Fliss take a stack of listener questions and head off for a day out to a Biffa recycling centre in North London. They meet Biffa boss Michael Topham and discover what happens to all that stuff we chuck into our wheelie bins. They ask if our recycling labelling is up to the job and why what's collected varies around the country.

Plus The Big Green Money Guide To Recycling. From tearing the windows out of envelopes to taking the lids off bottles! What should and shouldn't you do?

Remember, what you can recycle differs around the country. Check what can go in your bins here: https://www.recyclenow.com

With huge thanks to the staff at Biffa MRF in Edmonton
