　　　40萬戶的家庭回收就像澆花和跟狗散步一樣成為日常生活的一部分。去年我們回收5萬噸的報紙、三數百萬噸的塑膠瓶和兩萬噸的汽水罐。其中10%的回收比較是與三年前做出的。我們把我們回收的東西分裝在不同的盒子里，通常是其中一種用來回收紙，另一種回收塑料和金屬。

“共同混合”—在那里所有回收物品進入一個包,被用很多的辦法來增加循環率。協會會長、倫敦惠靈頓區長鄧肯瓊斯,他們在那里使用共同混合，他說:“這樣更有效率。它更鼓勵人去做垃圾回收,因為他們不用擔心垃圾的去向問題。”………………

FOR 40 million families recycling is now much a part of the daily routine as watering the plants or walking the dog.

Last year we recycled five million tonnes of newspapers, three millions tonnes of plastic bottles and two million tonnes of fizzy drinks cans. And 10 per cent more of us recycle now compared with three years ago. Many of us use schemes where we sort our recycling into different boxes - usually one for paper and one for plastic and metals.

But "co-mingling" - where all the recycled items go into one bag - is seen by many to be the way to increase recycling rates. Council chief Duncan Jones, of the London Borough of Hillingdon, where they use co-mingling, said: "It's more efficient. It encourages more people to recycle because they don't have to worry about what goes where."………………
