I just realised today that we have 8 ‘bins’:
Refuse – small bin with reused shopping bag as liner
Recycling – big plastic bin (and upsized wheely bin outside)
Paper/newspaper/cardboard – a 40L trug from Bunnings that sits outside the backdoor
Chooks – a temporary bowl, to be emptied into the chook run the following morning
Worms – a bucket with lid to keep out vinegar flies
Compost – another temporary bowl – usually only when we’re doing jam, etc and producing too much material for the worms to process, or its citrus, which worms don’t like
A cloth ‘bag noodle’ for plastic shopping bags that are able to be reused
A bag for torn plastic shopping bags and other plastics that can go to Coles for recycling
That sounds like a lot doesn’t it, but it works :)
