Will anyone be joining the DM campaign?

I have two los, one in disposables (sorry ) and we only fill half a grey bin every two weeks. I try not to buy things in excessive packaging, and recycle whatever I can. Not difficult really.

I really really don't get it. We have a wheelie bin. Rubbish goes in (including nappies) lid is closed -no vermin, fiflth, disease, rats etc. I don't get why people think there is more of these things?

We've had fortnightly waste collections for over a year.

It's been fine. No vermin, maggots, plague or pestilence.

not sure i get it either. there's me, dh and dd is in disposable nappies. we put our bin out once a fortnight when it's full. collection is weekly but we don't need it. recycling come round monthly. we have green wheelie bin for that and can put just about anything in it, all mixed up. we could do with that being fortnightly.

oh, there has been th odd time when we've filled the bin too fast, like at christmas. then we asked the single man next door if we could use the space in his bin. he said yes no problem.

A fe years ago a little combe on the Mendips near my parents's house was filled in with landfill then 'landscaped' with topsoil and turf. Wildlife fled and haven't returned because the hawthorn and hazel copses that were grubbed out haven't been replaced and the underground stream was blocked so that there is a evil smelling bog at the top of the 'field' and everthing else is dry. So what is the alternative to making it more difficult to dump rubbish? All those who find it inconvenient, what should we be doing? Or is landfill just one of those things that we have to put up with. Easier to put up with it when you don't see the adftermath.

Would someone like to define the term "bolly truck". i.e. what part of what country it is used, how old might the term be and what it might be derived from?
