Before lockdown WIRED visited Veolia's recycling plant in Southwark, South London, to ask about some of the most common recycling myths. Do you need to remove the plastic lid when you recycling a water bottle? What do you do with those widgets in Guinness cans? What do all the green symbols mean?

Veolia handles the waste from more than two million Londoners. Every single hour it processes 14 tonnes of recyclable content that we throw away.

I really wish there was a single set of recycling symbols that we used here in the UK, just so we can see at a glance what is, and what isn't, recyclable

Thanks for making this film. We need more films like this and some longer films with even more information. People need educating about recycling! 😊

Every town has different rules.

look my local supermarket removed its glass hoppers and reduced the rest to smaller bins that look as though they are just dumped in the normal trash... much of the recycling hype is cobblers/nonsense.... I was going miles out of my way to recycle my glass but no longer as Im being taken for a mug

My dad doesn’t wash the stuff we recycle because he’s worried about the water bill
