I would still like someone to do a project to find out how much extra tap water (warm and cold) is being used to rinse out dirty plastic bottles under the tap though. I suspect it is quite a lot.

There's a question mark about how much it costs both to the consumer, the water boards and the energy industry, but it's not a waste product.

We have a Wheely bin which goes out fortnightly
Plus a garden waste bin, a box for glass, a box for metal and plastic, a bag for cardboard and a bag for paper.
These (all) go out every 2 weeks as well.
It works.
