Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I’m very excited to be making this \Nvideo with my amazing guest today. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Could you introduce yourself please? Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Hi. My name is James Colhoun. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,In this video we’re going to cover an \Ninteresting topic. Under the BSL (Scotland) Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Act 2015, local councils across Scotland \Nhave certain obligations. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,One of the services councils provide \Nis rubbish and recycling collections. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,In this video we want to focus on why\Nit’s important to separate out your recycling. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Before I get carried away, \NI should ask James to explain his role. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Sure. I work at a recycling centre \Ndealing with the glass. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The glass is all processed and recycled \Nand reused to make the special white paint Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,used to paint lines on motorways. \NThe glass makes the paint glow at night Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,when it is lit up by headlights. \NIt is also used to create a similar effect Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in the reflective strips on Hi-Vis jackets. \NThese things are both made from recycled glass. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,They are really made from glass? \NThat’s amazing! Can I ask James, Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,why is it so important to separate out \Nyour recycling, your glass, your paper, Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,your plastic and so on? Why do we have \Nto put all these things into separate bins? Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It is really important, yes. I really want \Nto emphasise that. It’s important to Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,separate it all out. In Glasgow, \Nthe green bins are for general waste Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so anything that’s not suitable for \Nrecycling should go in those. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The purple bin is for your bottles and jars, \Nthe brown bin is for food waste, Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the grey bin is for plastics, and the \Nblue bin is for cardboard and paper. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You can put shredded paper in there too.\NIt’s really important to keep all this Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,waste separate, and I will explain why. \NSo, as I said before, I work on the glass. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,When the lorries come into the recycling \Ncentre, all the glass that they have collected Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,up is put into a big hopper. It is my job \Nto load it into the hopper, Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,which is like a giant funnel. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So the glass goes into the top of that? Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Yes, that’s right, into the top and then \Ndown into the hopper. Obviously, I can’t Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,see inside it. If a piece of wood for \Nexample or some food waste or plastic Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,gets mixed up with that, it makes a real \Nmess and destroys the whole process. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It can break the machinery and then that \Nwill need to be fixed. This means that the Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,lorries returning to the recycling centre \Nback up because they can’t unload. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It’s the same thing with the plastic. \NIf it gets mixed up with other types of waste, Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it causes all sorts of problems. \NPlease, please don’t do that! Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,There is no way for us to sort through it \Nso if it does get mixed up, we just have to Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,throw the whole lot away. It gets \Ncompressed and dumped into landfill! Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So that means it can’t be recycled? Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Unfortunately not, no. It has to be dumped \Nbecause it’s contaminated. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Lots of people don’t follow the system and \Njust dump their waste into any bin, Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so it all gets mixed up. It’s no good \Nthough if it’s not done right. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I see your point. Recycling needs to go into \Nthe correct bin and that’s really important, Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,judging by what you say. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It is, yes. If everything was separated \Nout correctly, the process would run really Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,smoothly, and everything would get \Nrecycled. Recycling helps the planet, Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it saves trees. We all need to look \Nafter the environment. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,If people just sorted their rubbish\Nproperly, the recycling process would Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,run smoothly. If people ignore the \Ninstructions, we’re just going to end up Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,repeating the same thing.
