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.

Wrong PM. "Wind of change" was Macmillan's slogan.

What tends to happen around here is that the emptied bins blow away
until they fall into a ditch or hit a tree!

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.

We don't even get a bin. we are expected to stack plastic on the
pavement on the day that is collected. 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

You're lucky!
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.

You know what, she's dead. Give it - and her - a rest please. 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.

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

The phrase that 'people who live in glass houses, shouldn't throw stones'
would seem to apply to Baz here. I am tired of his 'ever so 'umble'
attitude toward gardening and his very real mental instability. Time
to killfile him I think.

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! ;-)

Nearer 3 for us. B-)

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.

Yes, I think it is. Put the loony in your killfile.

Baz

Agreed, but there's a whole thread on here eulogising her, and that doesn't fit in with everyone's political views either.

Yes, of course you are right in what you say.
My point is off topic in this group.
