Jamie's Council has just introduced a third bin to their garbage system: it has a green lid and is for stuff that is compostable. I know it's common across Australia to have such a thing but out local Council in Longford is still a bit rural in this regard. If you can't burn it, bury it!
Marilyn has jumped at the opportunity of getting into this new initiative. She saves every scrap of vegetable matter, egg shell and so on and delivers it to Jamie's bin on a regular basis. My grass clippings go the same way so we're doing our bit.
I read this morning that Victoria is now introducing a FOURTH bin: pink lid and for soft plastics and pizza boxes. Where will it end? If this nonsense ever came to Longford, there would be twenty-four bins lined up outside our units on a Tuesday morning, and there's just not enough room. It's hard enough now with a dozen bins and it would need a whole re-education plan for my neighbours to get them to do the right thing if we had twice the numbers of bins to deal with.
