The late great Shaun Lock did a piece on recycling - he said his wife turned him into a recycling zealot. Then he visited the US & realised all of his recycling efforts - & those of the wider world - when stacked up against the lack of recycling in the US was a bit like turning up in the aftermath of an earthquake with a dustpan & brush.
Peter Kay’s comic genius is making us laugh at the minor irritations in life by making us realise we are all going through the same frustrations at the same time making him the most relatable comic there is
The bins depend on the local council, usually it's garden waste (hedge and grass cutting), paper and cardboard in one, plastic in another, metal in another and then general waste for household waste. But some don't separate that much...
Hi guy's im an environmental health officer in the UK and we have one bin for mixed recycling and one bin for non recycling and one for grass cuttings, but as you rightly said all of our recycling goes to landfill sites but the grass cuttings our recycled, I hope my boss doesn't follow you on here.
As a kid in the 80s we had a Cadburys Roses tin for first aid stuff too. I'd open it wanting the delicious chocolate smell, instead i got the smell of Germalene, an antiseptic for cuts. Lol
Recycling is huge in the UK. I’m not so keen but they have made our rubbish bins smaller and only collect them fortnightly but the recycling gets collected weekly. The only way around it is to take your rubbish to your local tip which I do weekly. A lot of our plastic bottles, shopping bags, glass, cardboard etc are recycled now but they are so much weaker.
People wash the glass to stop their bins smelling. I know it sounds crazy, but stops you having to powerwash bins every so often due to the stench. You don't technically have to wash the glass in the UK either as glass is all going into a superhot furnace to be melted down again and I doubt anything in the glass is gonna be there after being melted at 600c😂
Where I live in the UK we only have 2 bins as well, Brown for recycling, and black for non recyclable waste. About 15 years ago we used to have the normal sized bins as well as 2 small box bin looking things. You had to separate the larger bits of rubbish from the smaller which made things very confusing, which is why they just stuck with 2. 😂
I always find it funny that no matter where we live in the world we are all exactly the same.Our habits, our behaviour, what irritates us, what pleases us is identical. We may never have lived in each others countries but we all behave the same. It's just human nature.
In my area in the UK we have a small brown bin for food waste, which is collected every week, a black bin for non-recyclables, red for paper and blue for tins/glass/plastics. There's also a green for garden waste but that you have to pay £40 a year for. Apart from brown, all others are collected once every two weeks. Black alternates with Red, Blue and Green. :-)
Where I am. It green for household waste. Brown for cardboard and paper. Blue for plastic, glass and tins. Grey are £32 a year for garden waste. Alternate fortnightly collection.
Where I live in Kent it is Black Bin (general rubbish) and a food bin (small black bin with a red lid) one week on a Thursday. The following Tuesday it is the Brown Bin (garden waste and we pay for it). Then the following Thursday it is the Green Bin (plastic, glass) the Food Bin and a Green Open basket type thing for paper and cardboard. So the Food Bin is done every week.
ours is black for general, blue for paper, brown for glass and aluminium and a big green one for garden waste and a lil green one for food waste, which you can put in the big green bin
Why are they all different for various areas of the country? Talk about making something overcomplicated, they should all be the same colour for the same waste
Hi guys! It can get crazy with the bins here in the UK, every council has a different colour scheme for the bins, some can have up to 5 bins for different items! Most now charge for the garden waste bin, and only collect it for 10 months of the year...! The only one collected weekly tends to be the food waste bin (if the council has a composting plant), all the others are bi-weekly, with the scheduled day changing if there has been a bank/public holiday!
Here in Oz we have red, yellow and green bins for general, recycling and garden waste respectively. I have grocery shopped online since it started and have never had bad produce.
It varies a lot council to council in Aus, I moved a lot for work and got caught out a few times wondering what the blue bin or red bin with blue lid etc meant.
Here in my part of Scotland UK I have brown bin for food and garden waste, blue for paper and cardboard etc, purple for cans and glass and grey for anything else! They are put out on different days.
In Dublin we have black for our "normal" rubbish, green for recycling and brown for composting. The green and brown go out same day and then the black on the following week.
Yeah its for different types of recycling- paper, glass, cans etc and also the bins for landfill that can’t be recycled brown is for garden waste. Yes ours have changed to one recycle bin now too, there was uproar when it was revealed the council outsourced it to a contractor who was just putting it in landfill!
My mum sends me a text message every Monday night to tell me which colour bin to put outside for collection because I'm only 47 and need all the help I can get lol :D I still put the wrong stuff in the wrong bin for recycling...the bin-men put a huge sticker on the binlid to say "you are an idiot" if you use the wrong bin...
We have White, Blue and Green bags, Black box, Green and Brown bins and a Food Caddy for all our recycling - 7 in all. We seperate Paper, Cardboard, Metal, Glass, Food waste, Garden waste and General Non-Recyclable waste. They insist we put it in a particular position on the path to make it easy for themselves, and if we don't they actually refuse to collect it and leave a Warning Notice.
Round our way, we have black for general waste including food. Blue for recycled, cardboard, paper, bottles, jars, tin foil, plastic bottles and trays, tins and cans. Green for garden waste, grass cuttings, plants, leaves etc, which we have to pay £35 a year for.
So our blue bin is paper and cardboard. Green bin is compostables( you can then buy that compost back from the city. Black bin is recyclables like metal and plastic. Brown bin is everything else.. we have a large garden so we pay for an extra green bin. So we have 5 large wheelie bins.
3.13 yah the area where i live which is close to where peter lives is. Beige - paper Red - tins, milk cartons Black general rubbish Green - grass clippings/trea branches ect.
We all have these experiences,,,,so this implies we’re just the same,,,,,,,, and with that in mind I can guarantee,,,there are people in MOSCOW doing exactly the same right now , 👍👍👍👍❤❤❤
Currently in Brisbane we've got all Green but the light green is greenwaste, yellow recycling and the one with the lid the same colour as the bin is general. But I also live up the Sunshine coast and they've thrown in a blue lid which i THINK is bottles/glass etc. Need to check up on that.
Some advantages to food deliveries , ordered two large bars of Dairy Milk Chocolate they sent eight and let us keep them for nothing , a Chocolate windfall 🥳
I'm being told not to eat this, that, and I'm like, I don't smoke, drink only on holidays, if I can't have an odd treat, then whats the point in living? Shoot me now! Never had home delivery as you said you want to choose your own fresh food, and dates on milk etc will be closest too!
So true about the bins. The elderly people near us take in their bins the very second they’ve been emptied. Mine is still out two days later coz am to freaking exhausted from work 🫣🤭
with the bins ones for normal rubbish one for recycling one paper and card and one for garden waste in my area it also depends what area your in to what colour the bins are mine is black , green, gray, and purple lol
Hi! I will start by saying that I am an 88 year old man, so if I say anything that upsets you, just put it down to my senility. I have to say that I have watched lots of clips by this lovely couple, and I invariably find them really funny, so please.....Just to make an old man happy.... keep posting your videos, they are keeping me "Young".......who am I kidding???
Q: What is the meaning of different coloured bins.... In the UK different coloured bins relate to different types of waste. In my area black is for general waste - green is for recyclable waste including small electrical appliances... brown is for garden waste... and a small grey bin is for food waste. Different bins are collected on different days. Here for example the black and green bins are collected on alternate weeks. The grey bin is collected with the black bin. The brown bin is collected the day following the green bin. How ridiculous is all that?
In northwest England different coloured bins are for different types of rubbish in terms of can it be recycled ot not wich never happened until the early 90s
Appreciate the comment. Gabe is the stranger you’re referencing I think. He’s been a huge part of this channel and he’s Nicks partner on the other channel Cricket for Americans
if you diet you will all ways diet what im trying to do is alter my eating behavior and cooking style i believe it has to be a lifestyle change, if diets worked the firms who help you / teach you to diet, selling various foods would go out of business, so they rely on you failing if you stop your diet.
I have a green, purple, and red bin, big blue bag for cardboard, small grey bin for food, small open boxes for magazines and paper, I don’t use most of them😂👍🏽🫶🏽great reaction
