Come and tell us your dull and unexciting news 36: Calmly through the day

[MissConductUS]

A quiet and friendly corner of MN to share the very dull day to day happenings of our lives. No criticisms, political discussions, or controversies here. Think of it as neighbors (I'm a Yank) chatting over the garden fence or having a cup of tea while the kids play together. Everyone is welcome.

It will be calming for all.

I do wish they'd standardise them. My general waste is green, the recycling bin is black, and the garden waste (that I pay for) is brown.

Haha. Ours are different (and the same as Penguinz, I think?). Black for non-recyclable general waste, green for garden waste, blue for glass, cardboard, tins etc. These are collected on a schedule, so every other week in various combinations.
We also have a small green 'caddy' for kitchen waste - things like vegetable peelings or non-usable scraps - that we line with biodegradable bags. That gets collected every week.

I regularly visit family in another council area and their glass/cardboard etc bin is brown. They don’t have a food scraps one at all and are told to throw any food waste in the non-recyclable rubbish bin! 🥴 Every council is supposed to collect food waste now but some are very much dragging their heels.

(This is riveting stuff, yes? 😂)

Well we don't have bins in my area !
We just put the bags out.
We get given the recycling bags and can order more or collect from the Town Hall ,but the are very stingy and only give 2 rolls at time !!

I use to order extra to mams house and take it !

We were going through a lot of recycling when the boys all lived here what with stuff from school, junk mail, pizza boxes , Amazon boxes , pizza boxes , takeaway boxes and bags , pizza boxes ....
You get my drift 😂😂😂..
Ohh and all the milk cartons!!

Ohh and did I mention the pizza boxes !!

We do have weekly collections though of both and food waste in a little brown caddy.
