Following our battery fire episode, we're tackling another common question: are used batteries still dangerous? The answer is yes. Even used batteries can retain enough energy to cause fires if they're crushed or punctur...
This week we're looking at metal tealight cups, explaining why they're usually recyclable, the easiest way to remove the leftover wax, and why bundling them together with used aluminium foil helps ensure they're captured...
Following up on our discussion about gas canisters in episode 73, we answer a listener question about why aerosols can usually be recycled at home while gas canisters can't. The key difference is pressure and the amount ...
This episode shines a light on glow sticks and why they're firmly in the rubbish category. We explore the fascinating chemistry behind chemiluminescence, why glow sticks can't be recycled, the concerns around chemicals u...
Thanks to listener Tricia, who discovered us in the Radio Times, for asking about compostable Christmas card wrapping. We explain the difference between home compostable and industrially compostable packaging, why certif...
Chocolate advent calendars are recyclable, but only if you separate the cardboard, plastic and foil. While brands like M&S and Tony's Chocolonely have tried to reduce packaging, the best option is still a reusable advent...
Can brittle plastic bottles found during litter picks still be recycled? We reached out to the experts who explained that PET bottles are extremely durable and weathered bottles are unlikely to cause problems in the rec...
Nitrous oxide canisters may be made of steel, but they are one of the biggest headaches for waste operators. Like batteries, they can explode or cause fires if crushed during collection and processing. Although recreatio...
Buying new clothes isn’t always the greenest option. Re-dyeing faded black trousers with products like Dylon can dramatically extend their life, using around 60 litres of water compared with roughly 8,000 litres needed t...
Are effervescent tablet tubes recyclable? To our surprise there were beads hidden in the lid. Those little silica beads are there to keep moisture out. The good news is that, according to recycling experts, the silica de...
Prompted by an email from listener Kenton, we revisit the paper-versus-plastic debate. While plastic pollution is a serious problem, we argue that the best choice depends on the product and propose three tests for "good"...
Are stamps recyclable? Used stamps can be donated to charities, which sell collectable stamps to raise funds, although everyday stamps have very little value. If you're saving stamps, trim around them carefully, leaving ...
A Discord discussion prompted us to ask what happens to bagged recycling. During a recent visit to a SUEZ Materials Recovery Facility, we learned that bagged recyclables are often treated as contamination unless staff ha...
After spotting a discarded fire extinguisher in a Bristol woodland, we looked into how to dispose of expired extinguishers safely. They shouldn't go in your household bin because they're pressurised and may contain hazar...
If you blow your nose on toilet paper, is it greener to bin it or flush it? We weigh up the trade-offs: incineration versus wastewater treatment, energy recovery versus water use, and even the surprising role flushed tis...
This week’s Rubbish or Not looks at Carex handwash refill pouches, which use 85% less plastic than bottles. Carex says the pouches can be recycled if you “snip to recycle”, but listener Alison struggled to find where. Th...
When choosing aluminium foil, is it better to buy the one labelled "recyclable" or the one "made from recycled material"? In this episode, we unpack the difference between these two common claims and explore whether they...
Scratch cards have been around for decades, but are they rubbish or not? In this episode, we look at what scratch cards are made from, how the scratch-off coating works, and whether scratching it away creates microplasti...
This episode looks at pre-consumer recycling, inspired by a Paw Patrol toy labelled as being made with pre-consumer recycled plastic. Unlike post-consumer recycling, which uses materials collected from households, pre-co...
Are water pistols recyclable? Usually not in your kerbside recycling. Most are made from tough engineering plastics, likely ABS, which aren't commonly collected by local recycling schemes. If they're still usable, donati...
