Little Windows In Envelopes

A bit like the wheelie bins.

How come I never thought of that?

Ever been out the back when it's wheelie bin day?
A three person team comes around, one, (male), moves the bins to the side to give the wagon room to get through & do it's job, the other two, (not male), searching through the bins to check if anyone needs to be refused a refuse collection because of wrong items in the bin, (a severe warning is then posted for being naughty).
Not being sexist however perhaps an all male team could check the bins as they are moving them to one side or even just go back to the system of one man moving the bins?
I bet he doesn't get paid as much of a wage as the two snoopers.

One thought came to me, the Council don't want envelopes with windows in them amongst the re-cycling.
May I humbly suggest then, that the Council set an example by no longer using these envelopes themselves?

The majority of envelopes I can't re-cycle come from that rich source of bumph.

Ive always torn the window out and thrown them in the white sack

Those little windows were invented, because some clowns were putting the wrong adresses on the envelopes, even now with the sysyem simplified, they still managed to drop clangers, addessing the letters to the wrong people, what ever you do don't give them your email address.

I have never seen recycling monitors where I live.

Our bins are accessible to the general public as they walk past, so anyone could put anything in them without our knowledge.

Before the red dog bin was sited nearby, I used to get bags of poo in mine.

I sometimes find empty booze bottles and cans. People are too idle to carry their rubbish home - it's better than throwing it on the lawns and in the woods I suppose.

Mine as, lots of um

thing is the generic letters are designed to fit into window envelopes, would you want to hand write hundreds of letters a day, i know i wouldn't. Just put them in the white sack as they are I do, and I bet 90% of others do too.

To be honest wallop it only takes a few seconds to rip the windows out then put them in the white sack, at one time I just through them in the rubbish but I always put the windowless envelopes in with the rest of the recycling now

if you have that much time on your hands, stick your address on here and we'll send you all our envelopes to tear the windows out.

It will do two things, keep your hands occupied and away from the keyboard & give the Post Office a boost with the extra stamps purchased to send them to you.
