You may have an idea but as you've answered the question yourself theres no reason to dispute it with those that actually do

Oh please stop being so petty! I said the kids make most rubbish in my house which they do! So the only assumption I have made is that YOU don't know how much rubbish MY kids generate.

[Madhatter]

Also you haven't questioned the contents of my bin, because I've already said. I also haven't come on here complaining that the bin will be full after not being collected. Now that's inviting people to comment on it.
I don't think it's right that the council stop you having side bags
I also question why anyone has so much rubbish if they recycle everything, a good answer is cat litter and nappies
I also question what to your knowledge can and can you not recycle.
and I asked what you thought of being charged by the weight of your bin, which will be bought in.

[Madhatter]

Then why say that I haven't got kids? Whats me not having kids got to do with me knowing how much waste a family with kids has. My sister has four kids. I'll say again, the only extra waste a family with kids generates that can't be recycled is nappies and disposables and plastic wrappings.

[Madhatter]

Who the idiot is that said im talking rubbish get in here and tell me why instead of leaving your crappy comments. At the least the people in this thread have the guts to argue their point. tell me why I'm talking rubbish. Why do you think all the families I've listed so far can cope with one wheelie bin in a fornight, but I'm still talking rubbish.

I think it's because they have to hire in them blokes from the strong men competitions to tear them in half before they can put them in the mulching machine Granny

[WillowTheWhisp]

I've wondered that too Granny but they definitely say not to put them in. Maybe they make the sacks too heavy for the men to lift.

You'd think they'd be used to it Willow, they are always whinging about it!!

[Madhatter]

I know with yellow ones its cos of the yellow colour but if you read what i listed above its only the paper banks that say no directories at all. acording to that you can put white ones in a blue bag. bit confusing that

[harwood red]

its to do with the spines on them being so thick it actually jams the machine up, its the same for catalogues. And the reason they don't want envelopes in the recycling is the gum actually gunks the machine up too!!!

[WillowTheWhisp]

Yes so cutting out the little windows and being ever so green by recycling the rest of the envelope probably causes far more trouble gumming up the works!

[harwood red]

yeah its not the little window that everyone seems to think is the problem its the actual gum for sealing the envelope which causes havoc
