With a name like Greenhaus, it doesn't sit right that you would be un-green. Therefore the Posterity jibe must be just that. A jibe.

I live in a flat in England. We have 3 bins for glass (clear, brown and green) 1 bin metal and 1 bin for paper for 21 flats. Collection is every other week. Occasionally the bins get overfull, which leads me to believe that not everyone recycles (they are small bins). There is no cardboard or plastic recycling for flats in our town, though the flat residents seem to think it is ok to dump cardboard and plastic carrier bags full of plastic bottles in front of the bins among other things like carpet, furniture and appliances. We have to contact the flat management every month to get these things hauled away. The damned annoying thing is the recycling centre is only a mile and half away. And there are charities which will collect your furniture and appliances for free. And judging by the overloaded car park, I'd say nearly every resident has access to a car.

I've tried putting up the borough council recycle scheme bulletin in entries and on landings but they were taken down and letters went out to residents from the flat management that we are not to post notices.

So I have given up trying to encourage others to follow best practice. I can only do what I can do.
