Answer 1

plastics need separating into different types.

paper; shiny paper gets more money but if its just household amounts bung it all in together. not envelopes, the windows are plastic, muck up the paper stream.

all cardboards can go in together.

wood can be reused, maybe advertise it on freecycle

glass should be separated by colour; white is most useful, and brown, green is virtually valueless, the use it for hard core.

steel; leave labels on, its going to be melted down again anyway, but do separate from ally, which is the most valuable of the lot.
