## Resource

England’s recycling rate is stuck at 43.7%—and contamination is the culprit. Common items like receipts, Pringles tubes, coffee cups, black plastic trays, and even tea bags often end up in landfills because they’re not truly recyclable. Thermal paper receipts, for example, contain chemicals that ruin recycling, while Pringles tubes mix cardboard, plastic, and metal. Coffee cups have plastic linings, and wet wipes are plastic-laced. Check your local council’s rules, use special collection points for crisp packets or toothpaste tubes, and opt for reusable cups. Mindful sorting is key to cleaning up the recycling stream and making real progress. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
