Some plastics such as polystyrene are very difficult to recycle due to the dangerous and volatile chemicals they release.

Nearly 23 tonnes plastic, 202 tonnes card/paper, 108 tonnes of glass and 18 tonnes of cans were sent away on Mull and Iona last year.

Estimates suggest only 30% of waste is recycled in Mull and Iona.

Less in landfill and more recycling equals more money and resources for other amenities on Mull.

At least 5 million tonnes of plastic ends up in the oceans each year. By 2050 there will be a greater weight of plastic than fish, according to the Ellen MacArthur Foundation.

If cans and/or plastics aren't rinsed out before going to recycle the whole batch can be contaminted and rejected, costing money and wasting everyone's time.

Every piece of plastic ever created still exists somewhere on the planet today. It's belived to take a minimum of 500 years to decompose.

Last year in the UK we recycled around 3.5 billion aliminium cans - that is enough to stretch around the entire world 10 times.
