Brandon Lewis has admitted even he gets confused over what he can recycle at home, after making a mistake on television this morning.
The local government minister was appearing on BBC Breakfast to discuss how councils can make it easier for residents to recycle at home. Despite claiming his local authority make it ‘pretty clear about what you can and can't recycle’ he got confused himself when questioned about what is allowed to go into his green waste bin.
He told presenter Charlie Stayt he could put yogurt pots in his recycling bin but was later corrected by his wife. He then took to twitter to clear up the confusion and admit he had got it wrong.
BBC Breakfast tweeted: 'Seems recycling IS confusing. Minister @BrandonLewis said he could recycle yogurt pots, but has since admitted he got it wrong.'
