Ever since the council started the recycling scheme stuff has just been dumped in the corner of the garage in the green box ready for collection day. The plastics and the paper has to go in seperate bags to make it easier for the bin men to load onto the wagon, everything else goes into the bottom of the green box ie glass and tins. I have been using the bags for life from the supermarkets when the handles have come unstitched, I think they change them for you free of charge if they are clean but I have found a use for them. Just before Christmas we bought a new sideboard and when it was delivered it stood on a packing board made of light coloured chipboard and that too was stacked up in the garage. Yesterday hubby was looking for something to occupy his time and fancied a broddle in the garage, he was in there most of the day and I hadn't a clue what he was doing until I took him coffee in the afternoon and saw this.... my very own posh recycling station!! How good is that!!
No more bending down to sort stuff out, just pop into the right right bag and hey presto its sorted!!
This morning I went in and added the labels, they were cut out on my die cutter the Silhouette SD using some vinyl sheet that came with the machine. I stuck them on in a quirky fashion as I knew I would never get them all straight and perfectly lined up. So now on recycling day all we have to do is lift out the bags pop into the green box and take it to the end of the drive for collection. The corner of the garage should remain tidy now. You can just see the blue box on the top shelf, this has my spare jars for when making jam there is also spare baskets and plant pots for re-use.
How do you store your recycling before its collected? Ours gets collected every week, does yours?
Have a lovely day and thank you for popping by
