The message
from Granity contains these words:

In the old days, supermarkets put out their cardboard boxes for you to
put stuff in, or charged you 10p for a carrier bag. What do they do
with all the boxes nowadays?

Incidentally if it's a plastic bag free town what do people put their
rubbish in for the dustmen to collect? Putting "naked" food waste in a
wheelly bin is extremely unhygienic.

In Bristol we are *not* allowed to put food waste in plastic bags.

We are provided with a very small (20/25/12 cm approx) lidded bin for
waste in the kitchen. When full this is emptied into a 'larger small
bin' with
a secure -ish lid . This rubbish is collected weekly.

Lucky you. Ours is collected every fortnight, which is disgusting. I
should buy shares in Domestos, Jeyes and Dettol! Trade waste e.g. the tea
room goes every week but we pay extra for that.
