They have just started a curbside recycling system in my area and I have
been delivered of a series of coloured sacks for separating out materials ( tins and cans, textiles, and newspapers). This is a complicated system because in addition I have to put all glass jars in a separate carrier ( presumably a recycled one for the supermarket. All other rubbish is still collected weekly and most folks here ( including me) use black bin sacks ( I have a dustbin outside I put this into also) Recycling bags are collected fortnightly. It is not a tub or bin system like in other places I have been. So, how do people cope? I currently have two half filled sacks gracing the kitchen! They are under foot and in the way! I have nowhere to store them. The kitchen is not big enough to take any extra waste bins ( I have one large pedal bin in a corner. Any suggestions as to how I can set up a system for storing these bl**dy bags? Looking at the size and speed they are filling, each bag is likely to take at least a month to fill for me, so they have to hang around that long. I cant keep tripping over them. I am getting fed up and soon , I'll sling the SOB's out and S*D the saving the earth! Anyone solved such a problem? ( remember there are three of them and I already have a bin in the kitchen for "normal" waste, I cant think of a feasible way of having three large bin containers in my kitchen and there is no space outside either) |
