They then take one of the bins off full and return it empty. But there is no sorting of the rubbish, it all goes in one bin. Though apparently a lot of our rubbish is shipped up to Shetland to fuel a giant community heating plant there. So it's sort of recycled. just not very "green" given the miles!Sianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15086990153239265950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-496522256748038434.post-16586034748581161382012-05-06T17:16:00.252+01:002012-05-06T17:16:00.252+01:00Um.... well a few metres high - depending on who w...Um.... well a few metres high - depending on who was in charge and the "cheating" that went on ;-)Sianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15086990153239265950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-496522256748038434.post-47498137306432102602012-05-06T17:15:18.559+01:002012-05-06T17:15:18.559+01:00So it would seem!
