Biggest recycling disagreements include things in wrong bins and empty loo roll

Passersby in Preston are quizzed on their recycling habits at home, with some admitting they often don't put things in the right bin - only to be told off later by their partner.

One lady even called out her husband and said she always airs on the side of caution, which is something he never typically does.

It comes as a study revealed putting things in the wrong bin, not washing plastic containers out and leaving empty toilet rolls in the bathroom are among the biggest recycling disagreements between partners.

The poll of 2,000 co-habiting couples found they regularly fall out over household chores, including cooking (27 per cent), laundry (22 per cent) and taking the rubbish out (18 per cent).

It was commissioned by Every Can Counts which partnered with artist, Shawn Sharpe, to display an art installation in the area made from 700 recycled cans - to inspire people to recycle their empty cans and foil.

Chris Latham-Warde, programme manager for the non-profitable organisation, said: “There is lots to remember when it comes to recycling, including what goes in each coloured bin and which day to put the bin out."
