I'd love to hear what really happens, but I reckon the boxes with food scraps and unopened cutlery bags just get chucked. Too hard to spend time ensuring the bags are not contaminated by fingers, food, grot etc. I would love to hear that the process is for each used plastic weapon to be cleaned, dried and repackaged. Alas, a dream me thinks.
