I put out the grey bin (for recyclables) and didn’t put out the green one as I didn’t have a chance at the weekend to do any gardening. Or rather, I was too lazy to do any.

Today when I got home I found the bin unemptied and a note on the top of it saying that supermarket bags were not acceptable in the grey bin.

That’s a bit odd, given that supermarket bags are made from polyethylene, which most certainly is recyclable! So for the sake of one sodding plastic bag I have to wait another two weeks to get the grey bin emptied! Bastards!
