Garbage collection!?

As the councils in various areas are clamping down on what they consider to be rubbish, does anyone know what is acceptable in the refuse bins. I know of course the usual for example glass paper bio degradable can all be recycled but have they a list for what is acceptable rubbish.

Answers:
Check on your local council's website - they should have an area for refuse collection information.
not a lot these days
call the trash pick palce and ask
contact your local council they have leaflets and info pages on this subject.
That list is empty..you must recycle everything now, remember it is now your job
Who knows. Do the council know,even recycling is a joke. Most of it ends up being shipped to china. rubbish is rubbish and they should take the lot. That's what we pay tax and council tax for isn't it ?
Here in the UK they are very much into recycling. The only acceptable things in a rubbish bin are:

Cooked food scraps.
Certain plastics which can't be recycled.
Polystyrene food packaging


Recycle bins for
Tins
plastic bottles
paper
cardboard

** bottles have to go to the bottle banks.
biodegradable waste like foodstuffs. Others would be the dirt you sweep up off the floor.

You need to recycle paper glass & plastic.
Anything your local group of rattus rattus will not eat should be recycled
Well, you can only dispose of leftovers from dinner, the odd toilet roll holder and if they are feeling particularly energetic and feel up to a bit of work, they might let you put an entire rubbish bag in your bin..but ONLY if it's in the designated black bin liner. Put it in a green one, or a tesco carrier bag then forget it
Our council has a rubbish leaflet.it says "anything that the manufacturuer states is suitable for landfil".

Like, err, whats that supposed to mean. If I ring B&Q and ask them if the box thier screws come in is suitable for landfil, what response do you think i'd get ?

Sorry can't answer your question but it gives me the opportunity to say how I think we're missing the point totally with recycling - we should be stopping the packaging at source.
