In order to be more green the council have instigated a two wheelie bin system. One for green compostable stuff, one for non-recyclable. We also get a plastic & metal box & a paper box. Excellent, except (there’e always one of those) they collect the bins alternate weeks. So my compost bin which contains tea bags, potato peelings and sometimes grass clippings is nice and empty whilst the other is stuffed. Well not too stuffed, we are careful with what we bin.
