Wind, gusty and then more wind and gusts
It is our day to get our recycling bins emptied of plastic and cardboard.
The wind has blown all of them over, and most of the contents are in our and neighbours gardens. What a mess. It has bin(pun)like this for weeks now with that wind. Just how Feb. should be IME. Not April. Probably Thatcher is having it's last laugh at us humans? Who knows. Baz |

Not April. It is still sort of OK since the spring has been so cold until now that the trees are not in leaf. It has snapped a couple of branches on one of my big fir trees though. When it calms down they will need lopping. Only had a couple of serious days of wind causing actual damage recently in N Yorks. The previous was about a month ago.

Cardboard & paper are stacked lose on the pavement and are collected on a different day. We are provided with three containers - one for organic, one for inorganic and a small container for chemical waste. Glass has to be put in a bottle bank which is about 100 metres away. Heavy waste is collected on request so long as the biggest dimension of an item is less than a metre. Anything else has to be delivered to the waste disposal yard. We had an undamaged painted asbestos panel on the house,whenw e removed it, they provided a sort of large body bag for it and accepted the bag and contents at the yard without charge. How much chemical wate do you and your neighbours have? Pam in Bristol |

Glass has to be taken to a waste reycling centre, or to a bottle bank, the nearest to us being almost a mile away. We have recycling collections (plastic, cardboard, tins) once a month. I'd much prefer a two-weekly "black bin" collection and a two weekly recycling collection. |

To keep on slagging off the dead is offensive in any case to a lot of people and it doesn't necessarily jibe with everyone's political views on here, so it's rude to assume all think the same. And politics shouldn't enter into a gardening group in any case. And no, I didn't vote for her or anyone else back then, because at the time she was in power I was unable to vote in England. -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.com South Devon www.helpforheroes.org.uk |

In any case one shouldn't overestimate the importance of the individual. If it hadn't been her, it would have been someone else, because the time was right. RIP, surely we're all entitled to that |

Phil I happened to answer Baz's post but he's not the only one who's hammered this subject to pieces. My post wasn't directed solely at him but at all those who think this is a place to air contentious political views. The one thing that WAS good about urg was the lack of that sort of thing and the unifying factor of all being interested in gardening, whatever rosettes we wear at yawn-time! ;-) -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.com South Devon www.helpforheroes.org.uk |

B-) We have recycling collections (plastic, cardboard, tins) once a month. Fortnightly hard plastic, card/paper, bottles and tins. I'd much prefer a two-weekly "black bin" collection and a two weekly recycling collection. About the only stuff that goes in the "land fill" bag is plastic films/bags from food packaging. I took 3 bags of plastic to the recycling yesterday and had a set to with one of the workers there I had a bag from a neighbouring authority and he said I shouldn't bring it to his centre. He he, I'm waiting for that to happen to me. The nearest HWRC is in another county, the most convenient is also in another county. Cartons being the only recyclable item that don't get taken from the doorstep get taken there. -- Cheers Dave. |
