We got our new recycling bins the other day; you might think it’s a good idea to promote recycling an all that, but what a pain! It leaves two options: 1) put all your rubbish in the bin as usual, and sort through it all when you take it out. 2) Have the boxes inside and separate them as you use them, which means having dirty tins and beer cans smelling for two weeks.

This is slightly taking the piss me thinks! Why should I (we?) waste time sorting rubbish out, when someone else gets paid for doing it!

Of course, this is just my initial impression of this scheme, maybe time will change me into a recyclomaniac… who knows.
