How do we recycle here?


This has always got me wondering..... How do we recycle in Cyprus?
Recently I watched a program about a Russian Nuclear submarine that was taken apart piece by piece and then recycled (not the re-actor of course). But I thought to myself, if they can do that then why am I not recycling my rubbish?

I do have a confession, in the four years I have been living here I have not once recycled. This is not due to the fact that I am lazy, its just that I dont know where to take the rubbish to! In England we are all used to green bins, red bins, blue bins, pink sacks, black sacks the list is endless. So we are already use to separating rubbish to its rightful "bin"
Getting back to my point though, where do we go for recycling here? do we have it here? The picture at the top is a weeks worth of "Junk mail" that I received, and to be honest I don’t look at any of it, I chuck it straight in the bin. I dread to think, if we put all our junk mail together the pile would be as high as mount Olympus itself! I’m sure I am not the only one.
All around Cyprus we see the Green Biffa bins where we have to dump our rubbish, would it not be a good idea for another blue and red bin next to them so that we can recycle?
Is anyone out there that can offer a solution to our recycling problem?!
