Those were the days, we had a family of 4 & I don't think we ever filled the old galvanised bin to the top & it wasn't a large bin. It's all the damn packaging everything comes with now that fills it up.
Quite easy to sort ours, We have a green box for glass/Plastic bottles & cans. A Blue box for paper/Cardboard/Textiles. A wheely bin for the landfill. & large sacks for green waste (no extra charge for collecting that). Recycling & green waste collected every 2 weeks, general waste is weekly. I suppose when oil becomes too expensive plastic goods will decline as well?
The emphasis is all wrong, industry shouldn't be producing all this carp in the first place but supermarkets say it's what their customers want. Still our children might enjoy clearing up all the toxic ***** we leave behind for them.
