Are You Using Your Bins Correctly? | The Cheap Seats 

Someone else's bin 😂😂😂

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Who cares?

Ok, but sometimes trash rules are real-life satire. At a particular officers school I went to, we had around 10 different containers for various - and often imperceptibly different - kinds of trash. Technically, we would have to disassemble teabags into 4 separate components: the remaining tea would go in the green bin (organic), the little metal clip would obviously go into the silver bin (metal), the string and bag would go into the regular bin (general trash), and the label would go into the brown bin (paper, but the cardboard kind, not the printing kind - separate bin for that). This would be required for all trash, all the time, and we really had better things to do. We were used to 5 different bins (general, recycling, paper, glass, and a special bin for batteries and the like) and this hadn't been an issue. But when presented with double the workload in a fairly stressful environment, the system broke down immediately and everyone just started throwing everything into the "special disposal" bin that could not be traced back to any particular group. It was a latch that opened down to the processing room and just combined the trash of 4 different floors. This also spawned a nice little jingle that doesn't really translate well (and I do apologize for the profanity in it, but our attitude towards the entire thing was more than a little resentful): Mülltrennung, Mülltrennung, Ich trenne mich von dem Müll, Klappe auf, Scheiße rein, So schön kann Mülltrennung sein! So yeah, there is a certain level of complexity that people will put up with, especially when eased into it. But everything else will be ignored, especially when there is no way to enforce it, no matter how many "green points" you think you're going to get for such a beautiful and brilliant concept. Anyway, thanks for coming to my TED-Talk. I hope it wasted as much of your time as the usual talks on the merits of underwater basket-weaving.

Compost, obviously

Doesn't WA have this thing called a Local Government Web Site? I wouldn't know the answers to most of those, but I would know to look it up and perhaps prompt local officials to actually update their sites based on this thing called 'real life', if they don't already? This is a non-story like the person seen driving while answering a Zoom on his court hearing about driving issues, only to find out there was a bureaucratic screw up, not a 'dumb guy' driving on a suspended license but attending a Zoom call with a judge inside his car.

"someone elses bin" 😂😂😂 fruit and veg scraps should be rotated into a selected spots in your back garden soil (no smell), or get an above ground composting setup going (organic breakdown smells) our pet animals were also buried in the back yard

I always place food scraps in the recycling bin. Think of the African children.

First comment thankyou
