Choose the correct function from the list for each question.
1. Could you clarify what you mean by ‘recyclable’? Does that include items that need to be taken to a special recycling point?

3. I suggest that the council should explain the recycling rules on its website and in local newsletters.
4. I do apologise. I put the wrong type of material in the recycling bin because I misunderstood the collection instructions.

8. I agree. Clearer information would make things much easier.
9. That may be true, but recycling is not always straightforward when packaging contains several different materials.
