Ok so it won’t mean much if you don’t live in England, as some people I know don’t. But, we now have three separate bins here in the UK. All in the name of recycling of course. We lag far behind other European nations such as Germany, who have been doing this for some time now.

Like I said anyway, the 3 bin system. One for recycling, one for green waste and one for domestic waste.

Bear in mind though, I don’t have a back garden to speak of, just a bit of a patio. So the council put my bins in the front garden, which is basically a gravel strip. Not done much for the pleasant view mind you, so I think I might see about using bin bags instead (you can talk to the local council about this apparently).
