ERRRRRRRRR nope.
So the dreaded two weekly pick began its arrival today with the truck load of wheelie bins plonked out on the street. It was like wheelie clone wars. Plonked there outside every house, with a nice little midget brown bin next to them. Half the street arriving home to them and falling in the door as they fall over them, in the tiny space they have to manoevre round them.
I don't have anything against recycling. I have been using our green bag for paper and card for years. The grey box I had for glass blew away empty two years ago down the street, in a storm, never to be seen again. A couple of phone calls to the council requesting a replacement, has never brought one back. So now I fill plastic bags with glass bottles and jars instead.....and they never think to give me one off the van for keeping up the effort.
I have a pretty small house, the couple of orgers that have been can back me up on that one. I have a tiny kitchen, no space for storage, and now I have to seperate everything. Right now I have the green bag overflowing stood behind the door in the bathroom(its downstairs) I've got a mllion glass bottles(yes I am a wino) waitng like a bunch of skittles on my worktops for Mr 'evil' Tibbs(the kitten) to come and push over, much to his delight. Now I have to place a little brown bin somewhere for scraps, I've yet to get the white bag for all the plastic cartons etc. I have my very own recycling plant going on in my little tiny house. Thats what the real idea is, to keep the rubbish tip at home!
Well at least theres one thing after my effort to seperate everything, remembering not to throw the cat out with it, is that the mahooooosive wheelie bin thats now plonked by the gate in the back garden, is that it won't be as heavy once a fortnight, to wheel round through three gardens, avoiding all other wheelie bins and out to the road in front of my house:rolleyes:.
Its much better to wheel the SV out that way than man handling that damn bin! Ahh well I'm waiting for the next instalment of the chav olympics 'how long can you ride a wheelie bin on the back of a moped', it has been done here before, but now they have an entire street littered with them to choose from!
And thats all before I can make head or tail of the new collection days. week A for brown bin, glass box and white bag, week B for wheelie bin, green bag, brown bin and plastic bag of textiles
ARRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGHHHHHH why can't they have just left it all alone!!!!!!:smt063
