    I'm warm by the stove. Really don't feel like venturing into the cold.

    Should I make the effort or leave it for another fortnight? It's the grey bin.

    I only put mine out every three months or so. It'll be grand, unless it's stuffed to the gills.

    I only put my recycle bin out every four weeks and the rubbish bin well that's normally double that.

    What's the grey bin for?

    My bins are green and blue.

    I put two out tonight. No clue what's being lifted tomorrow.

    Just make sure the bin is empty before the Christmas rush!

    That's the issue with not having a national standard policy on waste recycling. Different bin colours and different items accepted in different ways, all over the country with major operational differences between private and council facilities.

    It's an inefficient mess with mixed messages going out to the public. This is what we got when our overlords decided to turn a necessary public service, in to a commercial industry. No wonder the latest EPA report (out today) says we are failing miserably with our re-cycling targets.

    We need to start from the top down - reduce the waste coming in to the country, instead of putting all the burden on the consumer to take it in gather it all up, and bring it to various places, all in support of an industry that we didn't want in the first place.

    At the moment, I save all my plastic bottles up and squash them, until I literally have a car full to take to the council depot. From the new year, I will have to keep them intact, so that I can transport far less less (more frequent car journeys), to queue at a machine and individually push them through a hole, so I can recover the latest tax imposed. More and more trucks will then visit each machine to bring the bottles to a place that I could have gone to, in the first place.

    What a joke - stop developing an industry and tackle the issue at source.
