How clean does my recycling need to be?

Across north London, glass, metal, paper and all plastics are collected together in a single household recycling bin and compressed in one lorry before making their way to the materials recovery facility (MRF). But what happens from there? Many people are unaware that for those materials to be successfully recycled into new products, they must be clean enough. This is particularly important for paper and cardboard.
