a typical household recycles paper, cardboard, plastic and glass bottles, foil and drinks cans.
food and garden waste is now also collected.
but in the last four years, the number of items rejected for recycling in england has gone up by 84%, mainly as a result of contamination.
many items end up in landfill or being incinerated when, with more care, they could be recycled.
the problem often stems from confusion over what and how to recycle.
across the uk the system of recycling differs between local authorities, and multiple containers are used for different types of recyclables.
in one area there may be one large wheelie bin for recycling all household items

these use compostable bags for food waste, including tea bags, coffee grindings and egg shells.
a few streets away, another council may use a separate container just for glass bottles. waste collection times vary - either weekly or fortnightly.
