Having filled the recycling box provided by North Lincolnshire Council, we took a selection of Christmas period bottles and cans, in carrier bags, to the recycling centre on the Old Courts Road car park, behind Wilko's store in Brigg.
Deposits were duly made in the green, brown and green class containers provided. But what were we to do with an empty BLUE sherry bottle?
Some folk might have been temped to undertake a spot of blue bottle fly tipping to dispose of the unwanted leftover - and just left it on top of the container to make a statement to the authorities.
But we decided to put the bottle back in the car and leave it in the council-provided container until the binmen pay their next visit to our street.
Someone later suggested to us that you can put blue glass bottles in the green recycling centre container. Does anyone know if this is the case? And do other recycling points (eg Tesco and the Ancholme Leisure Centre) have a container for blue bottles?
What happens if your colour blind, Nige?
