WE got home from shopping this morning to find a new "bin" on the doorstep. Obviously it's a recycling bin for your food waste, food, teabags and veg etc.
Apparently you have to dig out the grey kitchen food caddy that they issued you with about 10 years ago! you put all the waste in there then when full tie the contents up in a compostable bin liner {that you buy} put it in the new bin and leave it out on the kerb to be picked up, apparently this will be a weekly collection service.
I'm assuming the bin will just be collected and another put in its place, if true this means I will more than likely end up with one that's a health hazard because no one's cleaned it.
I had to smile when I read the pamphlet that came with it, among the items you should NOT put in it was "dead animals", having said that looking round at the knuckle draggers that live in and around I wouldn't be surprised at anything.
Wonder how long this gem of an Idea will last, probably till they realise how much it's costing. Your green garden waste bin that gets emptied every two weeks and goes to landfill I suppose none of that creates methane then!
