Flush, bin or burn?


I take great pride on those occasions when we manage to fill our blue wheelie bin right to the top, the success of recycling so much in a fortnight (two hundred and forty litres approximately apparently). Utterly stupid 'cause in actual fact it is the complete opposite of success for the consumer (Rupert), but more the success of consumerism and subsequently for packaging producers.

I guess true recycling success can only be measured by comparing what is placed in the recycling bin with what is placed in the green domestic bin. Minimal in both is the obvious consumer goal, but the furthest from the goal of the distributor. We need to consume less, be aware of waste, not just in terms of recycling but also food, energy and most of all time.

It has led to the mental discussion of what is the best way to deal with used tissues; is it best to flush them, bin them or burn them (should you have the facility)? Google has up to now been unable to assist.
