if you look at my 'growing your own veggies' thread you will see what i use my old re-cycling bins for....i grew my spuds in them this year


it all works out fine once you get used to it

Oh! I agree with you – all recycling in one bin instead of boxes does make sense. But as the lady at the Regeneration And Environment Department stated, initially there was a lot of confusion with the wrong stuff in the wrong bin. It could all have been avoided.
