Is the answer identical in every council?
No. General streams are similar, but details, limits and collection methods vary. Save a local override when your council says otherwise.
Must packaging be washed?
Usually thorough emptying is enough. Do not waste large amounts of water; follow local instructions.
Does the search know my location?
No. The service does not request geolocation. You may save a council name locally as your own note.
What if an item is missing?
Check its material and category, then consult local guidance or a recycling centre. Never guess with hazardous waste.
