This particular household ritual, dealing with what have to throw away, impacts us all in whatever country we live. Of course I've visited some countries - won't share names here! - where it's just thrown out the windows, piled in the streets for wildlife/vermin to destroy, or even in front gardens which is despicable!<br />Here in our city the garbage pickup (provided green bin) is weekly for regular household items, recycling (provided blue bin)is bi-weekly along with yard/garden waste which we put in our own bins. I compost all my vegetable waste - a lot daily as I'm vegetarian - and have a large container not far from the back door.<br />It's sad so think there is so much trash on the planet - and I dread to think what the future holds in regard to disposing of it all!<br />Mary -Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11915239653283205065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26067482.post-59396269079289039752021-06-19T03:14:10.154+12:002021-06-19T03:14:10.154+12:00Our waste collection is twice a week but we only p...<br />Our waste collection is twice a week but we only put the bin out on one of those days. Even then, it has very little in it. You would be amazed at how many people put full bins out twice a week! You don't have to be a genius, merely awake, to know that recycling is the only smart thing to do if we want to leave a habitable planet for our grandchildren. That said, our city fathers decided recently not to pick up glass - one of the most recyclable items ever, so now we have to just throw our glass in the garbage. I cringe every time I do it!mollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03797484583400519909noreply@blogger.com
