Here in south leicestershire we have two wheelie bins one for landfill and one for recyleable's and also two little box things purely for recycling one ofr tins and glass and the other for paper. We have nothing for plastic recycling and the company that is contracted to empty the bins will take every oppurtunity to slap a sticker on your bin for minor infractions and refuse to empty it. That has caused some problems as rubbish that is not emptied ends up being dumped which i don't agree with but understand why it happens.

I am in a rural town and we have a large problem with foxes and trust me no matter how sturdy the bag it will not stop a fox let alone half a dozen of them that routinely wander our streets after dark. I agree that is the responsibility of us to recycle as much as we can but i am getting a little tired of the lectures from this government about it when they do sod all to get onto the creators of the problem the manufacturors of our foodstuffs.

Easter has highlighted this to me as my wife had a little (and i mean little) easter egg but the packaging was way out of proportion for the contents and this is the case with most of what we buy from the shops. I think it was dispatches on channel four that showed how much packaging waste there was from a weekly shop if we cut that down 30% will be a doddle.
