Strange that I've never noticed it before. But then, this is probably the
first time I've been out weeding since the local council introduced food
waste bins.

Incidentally, we now have fortnightly alternating collections of rubbish and
recycle with a weekly food waste collection ... and I'm sure I'm throwing
away a /lot/ more than I used to! I don't know if it's just time of year
and I'm clearing out a lot of tat that had been hanging around the house and
garden or what, but I seem to have gone from a small bin bag a week to a
full wheelie bin every 2 weeks! (And a half full food waste bin every week,
where I very rarely threw any food waste out previously!)
Most odd.
