…I heard someone say.

“Not very nice” I thought.

Oh, they’re talking about the RECYCLING bags.

Big thing over here, with more wheelie bins than you can shake a stick at.

We’ve got bins for organic and inorganic – our waste charge includes 13 emptyings each a year, but they collect at 2 weekly intervals, so if you’re rich and/or ecologically irresponsible, you can double that.

Paper goes out every 2 weeks and plastic/metals/glass go in the yellow bag and they’re also collected every 2 weeks

Our waste footprint is pretty small, actually.

Organic goes onto the 3 compost heaps and then onto the garden, our inorganic bin goes out every 3 or 4 months (and it’s never full, even then – just a bit smelly…) and we take the bottles to the bottle bank.

Wouldn’t want the neighbours to know how much we drink, would we?

That wouldn’t be a good thing at all…..
