Recycling

WOMAN:

Hello, how may I help you?

MAN:

Well, I’ve been seeing these yellow boxes in front of a lot of houses in my neighbourhood. I just wondered what they were for. I noticed your phone number on all of them, so I called. Could you tell me about your business?

WOMAN:

We do do recycling, but we’re not a business. Gaea’s Guardians is a non-profit group. We encourage recycling as a way of protecting the environment.

MAN:

I don’t know. I mean it is a good idea. But I really don’t read the newspaper every day or anything.

WOMAN:

And we don’t come collect newspaper every day! In fact, we only do pickups every other week.

MAN:

Oh, well then maybe I could help. I mean in my neighbourhood, there’s too much rubbish lying around everywhere. I’d like to help out, I guess.

WOMAN:

That’s great, sir. You’re doing the right thing. OK, I need to get your contact information. What is your name, please?

MAN:

Peter Wisrough..

WOMAN:

Peter... how do you spell your last name? W-I-S-R-O-W?

MAN:

No, actually it’s W-I-S-R-O-U-G-H.

WOMAN:

Oh, I’m sorry. I’m a terrible speller.

MAN:

You’re a good speller. It’s just that my family are terrible pronouncers!

WOMAN:

You’re quite a card, Peter! OK, now what’s your address?

MAN:

No. 168 Bridge Road. That’s here in London. How about if I have any questions?

WOMAN:

I'm sending you a copy of our booklet, too.

WOMAN:

The booklet has our phone number and email address helpline@blackcat.com. That's H-E-L-P-L-I-N-E at B-L-A-C-K-C-A-T dot com.

WOMAN:

But I nearly forgot to ask, what’s your postcode?

MAN:

BS97PU

WOMAN:

PS97BU?

MAN:

No. That’s B as in “boy"-S-9-7-P as in “Peter”-U.

MAN:

So, I’m guessing those yellow boxes I saw are for recycled newspapers?

WOMAN:

Yes, that is correct, and it’s free of charge.

MAN:

Wow, that’s good news! Do you recycle anything besides newspaper?

WOMAN:

Oh yes, we recycle most everything. Glass, plastic, paper...

MAN:

Oh, so I can put like glass and plastic bottles in the box?

WOMAN:

Sorry again. Things like that you have to bring to our collection centre.

MAN:

And where is that?

WOMAN:

Our main centre isn’t that far from you. It’s actually right on the East Side of Central Park

MAN:

That new blue building?

WOMAN:

That’s the one!

MAN:

Cool. Hey, what’s with all those different coloured boxes outside that place?

WOMAN:

Oh, that’s for the different materials we recycle. The blue is for metal, the green is for glass and plastics, and the yellow of course is for paper.

MAN:

Hm, okay. I’ll try and manage to keep all that straight.

WOMAN:

Oh, no need, they’re each labelled.

MAN:

Great. So which one would I put magazines in?

WOMAN:

Actually, they don’t go in any of the bins. Unfortunately, magazines can’t be recycled because of the material they’re made of. It’s such a waste.

WOMAN:

So would you be interested in volunteering?

MAN:

Um, I’ll think about it. Could you send me some more info?

WOMAN:

Absolutely. Along with the newspaper box, I’ll be sending you our booklet, “ Savvy", that is S-A-double V-Y. It tells you about what you can do to protect the environment in your daily life. Plus it lists things you can do as a volunteer with our group.

MAN:

Hey, that’s cool, thanks!

WOMAN:

My pleasure. Do you have any other questions or concerns?

MAN:

Nope, that’s it!
