I sort all our waste into the correct recycling bins, wash the plastics, flatten the pop bottles to get the air out, go through the bin bags (from the bedrooms) to separate stuff etc. I'm an avid recycler, I have been for years since I heard that we had no more holes in the ground to fill. The rest of the household - the younger ones that are supposed to be up in arms because us older farts have trashed the world - well they DGAF and just chuck it all in the general bin. Having run recycling groups for the past 20+ years I'm kinda fed up with it now, hearing that it all goes into a hole in the ground and make a hill above it is IMHO not good but what are we to do? I stopped washing stuff in hot water when the bills started rising, once I get put on a water meter I'll stop washing completely. Re the food waste bin, I'm actually finding that OK to do. Simply put any food stuff into the little caddy (and weirdly the rest of the family are doing this too) and then decant to a bigger one when full. It's been OK for the past month and none of the cons that people complained about. Rossendale council seemingly have decided that this year we did not need a calendar with what bins are put out on what day so since I had to move them from out back during some renovations I have found it easier to have them in front of the house like many of the other terrace houses in Rossendale. Luckily so far our binmen have not been jobsworths.

Sounds like Quickfit of old tricks.

There are, they are usually stood there watching you. Oh you mean plastic ones? lolz
