Blue Bin and chips

[magpie]

I knew that the council have been putting chips in the big bins... however I did not know they also put them in the blue one: only noticed it thing morning, mind you having said that I got a new blue bin just before Christmas . So maybe it is just in the new ones:

Chips should really go in the supplied compost bin, not your blue box, which is reserved for glass.

[Ianto.W.]

It monitors the weight of recycling you do, it is all part of a grand plan to start charging people who are not recycling enough, and placing all their waste in the black bin.

Very true he did, but then some people weren't members a year ago and don't necessarily read old threads anyway, so I think we often have what we would class as old news coming back on but many newer members may never of heard about it!!

so whats the point in having a search tool on the site then
Here is the link to the other thread i found using the search tool

Because when you are new to a site it can take a while to get used to how things work, especially if you are also quite new to computers too!! I personally hardly ever use the search facility on here and certainly wouldn't think to do a search to see if something I wanted to post had already been done in the distant past

I am somewhat new to the site....
also I was very surprised to find a chip in the blue box: I know about the big bins:

However, who is going to search everything on here before they post... you would hardly get any posts if that
was the case:



Maybe you should add: search before you post: in the site rules....
