Sorting our waste in Monaco just became a lot easier. Only two colours to remember for recycling from now on:
GREEN for glass,
YELLOW for paper and plastic.
Blue where we used to put all our paper will no longer be used. Green stays exactly the same which is where we put our glass – you hear the clink as the glass goes in and there is a Cliiink system of rewards as well. So now both paper and plastics go in the yellow bin. Therefore, waste that was previously placed in the blue bin can now be placed in the yellow bin.
