So, how do people cope?


Here we have the recycle box scheme, collections fortnightly.
It is a very labour intensive operation using a special lorry with
compartments for each type of material. The operatives have to sort the
materials into various bins on the lorry with a terrific racket of breaking
glass, clattering tins and boxes being thrown about.

A similar system here - one big box, but put cans/bottles in their own
bags. Currently the box lives in the kitchen, but when I finsh the
cupboard under the stairs in the downstairs bathroom it'll go in there.

2 weeks almost exactly fills the box - mostly with junk mail and newspaper.

It's not really much easier than taking it to the supermarket each week,
except they take car batteries, oil and old clothes as well.
