We have cleared the massive amounts of the festive period recycling !
Quantity/weight wise that is a months work done in 9 days, we have been bringing in around 120 to 150 tonnes a day, all of this plucked from household recycling boxes...
That is a shit load of booze cans, bottles, greetings cards ect, using 19 lwb, 5 swb lorries holding around 4 and 3 tonnes respectively...
I deserve a beer !

Hahaha yes indeed, its amazing what you can save when you want to. Another example is the use of fuel, we walk everywhere locally, so no more 9 mpg trips and its good exercise.flatlander wrote:And for those that wondered how you would keep busy in your retirement. ...Gio wrote:I am pleased to say we generated less rubbish than we normally do, mostly down to the fact that we didn't dispose of the supermarkets nonexistent war on waste.fatboy wrote:We have cleared the massive amounts of the festive period recycling !
