    Is wallpaper recyclable?

    Wallpaper can't be recycled once it's been used, as it's usually contaminated with paste and often has coatings or mixed materials that make the paper unsuitable for recycling. Any leftover wallpaper in good condition is worth saving for future repairs or offering on local reuse or free swap groups, but once it's been stripped from the wall, it belongs in your general rubbish. This episode of Recycled Content, is the 'Rubbish or Not' from episode 94 of Talking Rubbish, which first aired on 14th May 2026. While every effort has been made to provide the most accurate information, recycling guidance changes quickly and some advice may become outdated over time. Always check with your local council for the rules that apply to recycling in your area. On the main Talking Rubbish podcast, we include an additions and corrections section where we update anything we may have got wrong.

    Will air fresheners disappear with bans on single use plastic?

    Air fresheners might look like packaging, but under the EU's new Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR), they're unlikely to disappear. PPWR introduces sweeping new rules on packaging, including bans on some single-use formats and ambitious reuse targets, but because the air freshener container is essential to delivering the product itself, it's more likely to be treated as part of the product rather than packaging. It's a great question, and one we'll explore in much more detail when PPWR starts coming into force. This episode of Recycled Content, is the 'Rubbish Question' from episode 93 of Talking Rubbish, which first aired on 7th May 2026.

    What should you do with used cooking oil?

    Used cooking oil should never be poured down the sink. In this episode, we explain the best ways to dispose of it, from adding small amounts to your food waste to taking larger quantities to a recycling centre where it can be turned into biofuel. We also look at products that solidify cooking oil, whether they're worth using, and a few simple ways to stop leaky bin bags.

    Is leaving bagged litter after a litter pick fly-tipping?

    Litter-picked rubbish left for collection can look like fly-tipping, but if it's been arranged with your council or waste contractor, it isn't an illegal waste deposit. Before organising a litter pick, check your council's guidance, use the bags they provide where possible, and arrange collection or take the waste home. Coloured bags or clearly labelled sacks can also help prevent your hard work from being mistaken for a fly-tip. This episode of Recycled Content, is the 'Rubbish Question' from episode 92 of Talking Rubbish, which first aired on 30th April 2026. While every effort has been made to provide the most accurate information, recycling guidance changes quickly and some advice may become outdated over time.

    What percentage of household batteries are actually recycled?

    Emily asked what percentage of AA and AAA batteries are actually recycled. The official UK figure suggests around 45% of household batteries are recycled, but the reality is more complicated. We explain why lead-acid batteries dominate the recycling statistics, why this masks the performance of everyday household batteries, and why the true recycling rate for AA and AAA-style batteries may be closer to 14% than 45%.

    Are plant pots recyclable?

    We've had loads of questions about plant pots recently, including from Andrea on WhatsApp and John in the Binbox. The good news is that, under Simpler Recycling, councils that collect pots, tubs and trays should now also be collecting most plastic plant pots at the kerbside, with DEFRA confirming they fall into the same category. If your council says yes to pots, tubs and trays but no to plant pots, it's worth challenging. Black plastic pots can still be tricky, but many garden centres and more than 100 B&Q stores currently offer take-back schemes, where the pots are recycled into new products.  This episode of Recycled Content, is the 'Rubbish or Not' from episode 91 of Talking Rubbish, which first aired on 23rd April 2026.

    Why are paper cartons going in the plastic bin?

    Why are cartons now going in the plastic bin? It does seem to contradict our usual rule of thumb for composite packaging, where we say to go with the predominant material. If it looks and feels like cardboard, it normally belongs with the cardboard recycling, even if it has a plastic lining. Cartons are the exception. The Government's guidance now recommends councils collect them with plastic recycling, although not every council has made the switch yet.  This episode of Recycled Content, is the 'Rubbish Question' from episode 89 of Talking Rubbish, which first aired on 9th April 2026.
