The 18 cottages on this small dirt track manage to produce a whole 3

bags
of
garden waste material which is collected every two weeks for the

Council
to
recycle. With the exception of myself no one composts but all the

houses
have gardens.
Exploring the contents of these bags with a view to using it on my own
compost heap I came across :- Plastic plant pots and labels

reusable
assorted cans

easily resmelted
plastic bottles,

recyclable
cat litter(complete with turds),

compostable as tree mulch
milk bottles,

reusable once sterilised

some people remain as thick as the day god made them.

They're not thick.

They just happen to have different priorities in life.

Maybe they don't rate being smug and sanctimonious as highly
as some other people.

maybe just lazy Michael. If I am smug and sanctimonious because I make an
effort then so be it, something I can live with. If facilities are available
there is no excuse for doing the simple things. 'Can't be bothered' is no
answer, just an excuse. As for priorities, where recycling facilities are
available dumping it all in a landfill doesn't sound like priorities to me,
just laziness or ignorance. Feel free to prove me wrong.
