I was at Tesco in Carlisle the other day and became involved in a bit of people-watching.

Beside the carpark, they have a pretty big recycling area with skips or enclosures for pretty much everything you would ever want to get rid of - from glass and plastics to clothes and cardboard.

As a relative youngster with hopefully a good few years ahead of me, I’m trying to bear the need for recycling in mind and always assumed that the main users of these places would be people of a similar age to me.
