Well, being Christmas the rubbish has accumulated quite nicely.  But the recycling hasn’t changed very much.

*  Vegetable peelings as usual.

*  3 glass bottles.

*  All my milk bottles that I have delivered

*  Paper as usual

What gets me is that there is no council pick up of cardboard after the Christmas holidays.  It’s an ideal opportunity to ‘up’ the recycling quotas but nothing is offered and I haven’t found an explanation for why not yet. 

I put all my cardboard into it’s own bag just to see how much there was and I had almost 2 bin bags of various cardboard.  Surely as a one off the councils could put on extra vehicles to take this away.

I know people can take it up to their nearest waste management sites, but for many the journey is not worth it, or they don’t have transport. 

I have got a couple of suggestions on recycling which I am currently looking into and will post them in the next couple of weeks.  And one is for the cardboard.
