Bin Night

hahaha i only know its deb's bin night because its the same as mine.

i never know if its recycling week until half the street have their bins out

We work on the theory that people who are anal enough to organise and put out their bins 20 hours ahead of collection are probably all over which is the correct one 😄

Sometimes we put them out 24 hours too early, but that's because we've got the wrong day 





have to bring them in and start all over again

We have the same red yellow and green. Our method (well I say 'our' it's actually Mr Penny who does the bins at our place) is to have the red bin and whichever other one is due that week at the side and close to the front of the house and the off week one round the back. When Mr Penny brings the bins in he wheels the empty fortnightly one round the back and puts the other one round the front.
We spent a fun two hours and more at Centrelink today trying to sort out our bank accounts, we have a lot of small term deposits which need regular updating and yesterday our CBC account locked up on Mr Penny when he was trying to do it. He thought he must be having a senior moment, but the lady at Centrelink couldn't make it work either so we think it must be a glitch in the bank's system. In the end we've had to leave it with her to sort out. .

Wednesday night is our bin night.

We usually have one bin liner bag full of waste/rubbish every week.. Small-medium sized bag.

Friut/vege waste is in bokashi bucket (which ferments and ends up buried in the garden). . Recycling in the yellow lid bin.

Some councils all food waste can go in the green lid bin..

i forget which day it is and which week for each bin , luckily a neighbor ''up the road '' a bit is a stickler and puts them out the day before (by stickler i mean it's early in the day )
i just rely on him .. i did spend 2 hours fixing his dirt bike once (in my defence )

i never have to worry about it, my bin lives on the verge. my neighbor comes to get the aluminum we put out back, he gets money for it and doesn't charge to mow my lawn. glass and plastic jars and bottles get rinsed and put in another bin, the " church lady" picks those up. cardboard boxes go to work with curtis for their recycler who pays them a quarter a pound. grease goes to my old convention center for recycling still.

hahaha - just click dismiss after you read it and it goes away

Here's a recycling joke on me.

I was saving newspapers (yeah, I know my age is showing) for the longest time because the recycling center said they would pick them up.
It turned into a strangle hassle. I had them on a table and then the stack got too big, they went on the floor and then into a room and then into the kitchen and then I tied them up and took them outside. I made a platform for them, covered them with tarp.
You have to understand that this stack grows every day.

I drove to the recycling center and said please come get these!
I brought some and showed the date of 2015.
I gave them my number and address. That was 4 months ago.

I don't think they are coming.

I once had a boyfriend who was a journalist.. you should've seen the stack of newspapers he had in his house.. he never, ever threw any away. I fixed it for him though

Joono's idea is a good one Dawn

its not returning for me but i'll get rid of it if its doing that

yep that would be it
