Shots of Si checking inside wheelie bins to make sure they have not been contaminated.
Si speaking: Basically, just looking for contamination. To make sure it's all recyclable, double check, because a lot of people put the garden waste in with recycling as well. I don't know why. Making sure there's no wood and stuff like that to be taken in it. It's basically auto, just stick it on and it does it automatically. Rubbish and recycling.
