We have three bins in our kitchen, one for food scraps, one for

It occurs to me, that we throw out either food waste or recycling
stuff.
What would you throw away that doesn't fall into either of those
categories?

I'd like to get rid of the 'general waste' bin.


polystyrene packaging from the big tele?

What do people do with unwanted paint?

My local tip (sorry, "Household Waste Recycling Site") has a drop-off
point for old paint.

I'm sure that they all (most) do

but even the most eco-friendly numpty can see that driving to the tip,
just to dump a tin of paint, is environmentally silly

Do you never just happen to be passing it?

AIH in my new house where I have been for 3 weeks I have passed by the
council tip twice (well passed by the end of the road where there's a sign
saying "tip this way", I have no idea how far down the road it is).

At the previous place where I lived 2.5 years...

no, never once did I have cause to go to (or even near) the estate where the
tip was located.
