kitchen recycle bins, what have you got?
i have just ordered a triple recycle pedal bin and was wondering what everyone else is doing to make the new bin system easier.
i am really confused with the new system of disposing your rubbish, is it the same for everyone else?

We get a blue box and a blue bag. The bag is for *some* plastic containers (milk bottles but NOT the lids ... ? Que ...), cans, etc. I just stick paper in the box. But you have to seperate cardboard and paper .....
Not too bad. If I'm confused I just put it in a normal bag and landfill it.
Oh, and bottles go in the blue bag/box as well. Though if there's no room you can just put them into separate bags and leave them at the side.

PS: I do NOT put batteries in the bin though. They get put in a separate pot until I find the time to recycle them.

I have a bin for general waste with the black bag that everything goes in but anything recyclable goes in a carrier bag on the side and gets put in the recycle wheelie bin outside when the bag is full.

its going to be a nightmare over winter having to go out to the bins all the time 
so i am getting the triple bin to make it easier. it is a good idea in the long run but only if the bin men dont put it all into the same hole at the landfill site
my dogs only weigh 3lb so they are no good

We have:
Inside the house:
A pedal bin for all rubbish which isnt recycling
And then when we have food waste, it's normally a trip up the garden path to get rid of it, but now the cold weather is approaching, it will be deposited in a ickle green bin, and then emptied once it us full.
Outside we have:
A green wheelie bin for food scraps, garden waste etc
A black wheelie bin for non-recyclable stuff
2 black boxes for plastic and tins ( not including yoghurt pots etc)
1 green bin with a black lid for clean paper and cardboard
and they are saying about adding another bin for glass!! god know where we are supposed to keep putting these boxs etc

I was in Spain recently. They empty the bins between 4 and 5 days a week (at about 5am) to avoid hygiene problems. I assumed that this would cost a fortune in 'rates' but apparently it is really cheap.
When I told a local what we have to put up with he quite obviously just didn't believe me and thought I was taking the **** out of him.
Presumably we will end up having a massive health scare with something like bubonic plague rearing it's ugly head again and then the government will find a way to charge us even more money to sort it all out and tax us to the hilt to do it.
