Dialogue: 0,0:00:05.38,0:00:12.75,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Hello, my name is Erin McCluskey. \NI am an outreach worker for BDA Scotland.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:12.75,0:00:15.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I’m very excited to be making this \Nvideo with my amazing guest today.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:15.66,0:00:16.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Could you introduce yourself please?
Dialogue: 0,0:00:17.09,0:00:19.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Hi. My name is James Colhoun.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:19.45,0:00:23.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,In this video we’re going to cover an \Ninteresting topic. Under the BSL (Scotland)
Dialogue: 0,0:00:23.45,0:00:27.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Act 2015, local councils across Scotland \Nhave certain obligations.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:27.45,0:00:29.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,One of the services councils provide \Nis rubbish and recycling collections.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:29.67,0:00:33.13,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,In this video we want to focus on why\Nit’s important to separate out your recycling.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:33.13,0:00:36.49,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Before I get carried away, \NI should ask James to explain his role.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:37.05,0:00:42.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Sure. I work at a recycling centre \Ndealing with the glass.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:42.63,0:00:47.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The glass is all processed and recycled \Nand reused to make the special white paint
Dialogue: 0,0:00:47.40,0:00:52.31,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,used to paint lines on motorways. \NThe glass makes the paint glow at night
Dialogue: 0,0:00:52.31,0:00:55.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,when it is lit up by headlights. \NIt is also used to create a similar effect
Dialogue: 0,0:00:55.08,0:01:01.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in the reflective strips on Hi-Vis jackets. \NThese things are both made from recycled glass.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:01.78,0:01:06.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,They are really made from glass? \NThat’s amazing! Can I ask James,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:06.20,0:01:10.69,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,why is it so important to separate out \Nyour recycling, your glass, your paper,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:10.69,0:01:15.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,your plastic and so on? Why do we have \Nto put all these things into separate bins?
Dialogue: 0,0:01:16.50,0:01:27.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It is really important, yes. I really want \Nto emphasise that. It’s important to
Dialogue: 0,0:01:27.84,0:01:36.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,separate it all out. In Glasgow, \Nthe green bins are for general waste
Dialogue: 0,0:01:36.05,0:01:38.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so anything that’s not suitable for \Nrecycling should go in those.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:38.80,0:01:45.51,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The purple bin is for your bottles and jars, \Nthe brown bin is for food waste,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:45.51,0:01:56.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the grey bin is for plastics, and the \Nblue bin is for cardboard and paper.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:56.45,0:02:00.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You can put shredded paper in there too.\NIt’s really important to keep all this
Dialogue: 0,0:02:00.90,0:02:03.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,waste separate, and I will explain why. \NSo, as I said before, I work on the glass.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:03.93,0:02:09.37,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,When the lorries come into the recycling \Ncentre, all the glass that they have collected
Dialogue: 0,0:02:09.37,0:02:16.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,up is put into a big hopper. It is my job \Nto load it into the hopper,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:16.22,0:02:17.69,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,which is like a giant funnel.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:17.69,0:02:19.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So the glass goes into the top of that?
Dialogue: 0,0:02:19.46,0:02:21.89,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Yes, that’s right, into the top and then \Ndown into the hopper. Obviously, I can’t
Dialogue: 0,0:02:21.89,0:02:26.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,see inside it. If a piece of wood for \Nexample or some food waste or plastic
Dialogue: 0,0:02:26.47,0:02:33.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,gets mixed up with that, it makes a real \Nmess and destroys the whole process.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:33.82,0:02:36.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It can break the machinery and then that \Nwill need to be fixed. This means that the
Dialogue: 0,0:02:36.82,0:02:40.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,lorries returning to the recycling centre \Nback up because they can’t unload.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:40.82,0:02:44.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It’s the same thing with the plastic. \NIf it gets mixed up with other types of waste,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:44.82,0:02:48.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it causes all sorts of problems. \NPlease, please don’t do that!
Dialogue: 0,0:02:48.12,0:02:52.03,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: 0,0:02:52.03,0:02:59.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,throw the whole lot away. It gets \Ncompressed and dumped into landfill!
Dialogue: 0,0:02:59.96,0:03:02.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So that means it can’t be recycled?
Dialogue: 0,0:03:02.09,0:03:05.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Unfortunately not, no. It has to be dumped \Nbecause it’s contaminated.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:05.47,0:03:09.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Lots of people don’t follow the system and \Njust dump their waste into any bin,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:09.47,0:03:12.75,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so it all gets mixed up. It’s no good \Nthough if it’s not done right.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:12.75,0:03:19.97,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.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Thank you for explaining why it’s so important, \NJames. This is a great opportunity
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to remind everybody that each council \Nhas its own system for collecting recycling.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The bins are not the same colour in \Nevery place. It’s best that you check your
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,own council’s website to find out what \Nthe system is in your area. If you can’t find
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the information you need, you can contact \Nthe BSL Helpline, and they will make sure
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that you find the information you need \Nto recycle effectively and do your bit to
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,keep our environment clean. Thank you \Nso much for your time today, James.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,No problem, thank you.
