Talking Rubbish

[poliphilo]

Our next door neighbour, Sameena, just had a new wheelie bin delivered by the Council. She knocked on our door first thing this morning (when I was still in my dressing gown) to ask if I'd pull it off the street once the dustmen have been. She doesn't like the idea of it having to sit out on the pavement all day.

I know just how she feels. Ailz can laugh all she wants, but it's a serious matter. Our bin has been stolen on at least two occasions- and they cost £20 to replace.

We have a recycling center, and we are each given a green box for cans, bottles, and newspapers, but they don't take cardboard or magazines. I wish we could sort as you do right at our houses.

I sort. I have two recycling bins (one navy, one bright blue) from the city. I put paper in one, and glass and plastic and cans in the other. (But I don't like my food to touch on the plate, either.)

My regular trash bin is green--different sizes are different colors. The gigunda one is gray, the normal one is beige, the smallest one is green.

We have a green bag for paper and a plastic box for bottles and tins.

And the Council are talking about introducing a new scheme that would allow for even more recycling.

Good for them!
