I nearly go nuts trying to sort out which week it is. We have blue for paper and cardboard (once a month on the last Saturday of the month - try remembering that!), green for garden waste (once a fortnight on odd Monday mornings - early) and grey for the rest (once a fortnight on even Monday afternoons). Glass and plastic have to be taken to bins in a central location. The problem is remembering which is the odd and even Mondays, remembering that the odd ones are early in the morning, and that some months have more than two of whatever Monday it is. Crazy! Luckily we don't have the regiment of wheelie bins that you have or I'd need a bigger passage to put them all in, and then I'd have to get permission for an extension!Vallypeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08309284606572565277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8622544917745692912.post-84010783524806536292013-12-20T18:56:27.245+00:002013-12-20T18:56:27.245+00:00We have a recycling center about 8 miles away and ...We have a recycling center about 8 miles away and I sometimes have to resort to going there, Cameron.

For a ...Things aren't much different over here. For a household of two with a log-burning stove, it isn't too bad; Anything burnable goes for fire-lighting. I'm a recycling fanatic but I hate to think how it must be for larger households with the same fortnightly collection for perishable. We make compost but admit that two-week-old fishbones smell pretty ripe. The only good thing is that we have a recycling centre just up the road that is very well-run and handles almost everything.
