Another Wheely Bin? No No No

I beg to differ…the sensible/responsible way ahead is: one bin for kitchen waste and all the usual crap – weekly; another for recycling – fortnightly; and one for those unlucky enough to have gardens, for all the garden crap – monthly.
-The there’s the added entertainment of watching everyone get them all mixed up: more fun than watching tv.

I’m in Chifley, and that failed trial wheelie bin has come in handy for storing horse feed. I did call to see if they want it back, and Urban Services said I can do what I want with it. It’s much smaller than the rubbish wheelie bin, but probably would smell bad after a week in the sun. At least compost bins don’t smell that bad.

A trial in a higher-density area where compost bins aren’t an option might have been different. But I doubt the average apartment-dweller would want to walk downstairs and tip their kitchen filth pot in a reeking skip.

What is it with Ms Dunne and such daft releases? Does she think she is in a bad media release competition with the Pratt? Has she sworn an oath on the tomb of Bob Menzies that she will put out media releases every day, and this means she puts out releases regardless of whether there is an issue or not. Never mind the quality, feel the width, eh Vicki?

Mr Hargreaves does refer to that Trial

you have to remember the Liberals idea of a trial was always something you did to figure out how best to inflict it on the public and not something you might do to test feasability.

Wasn’t there a trial of this in, I think Chifley sometime in the last few years? Surely an organic waste wheelie bin would reek if it wasn’t collected very frequently (every ‘couple of days)

I have to say the Rolypig composters appearing in the ads look kind of cute though.

Well i’m not so sure how a compost bin would go on my balcony, on the other hand a commercial composting service that wanted to pay for my valuable organic waste could possibly be a goer.

In downer we used to rely on the neighbours for wheely bin night and they were all a bit vague like us. So many a night the bins would all be out just in case.

How about the Gov’t partially subsidise a compost bin if they so desperately want to throw money at this problem?

It’s painful enough keeping in sync with the recycling night… I just look at the neighbours place.

Although that doesn’t always work as I found out a couple of weeks ago. I was first to put out both bins on a non-recycling night. No sooner had I done this than most of the houses in the street followed suit. Sort of funny in a droll suburbitopia sort of way…

Compost Vicki, it’s called compost.

Add a few worm eggs as well, start a worm farm, and you have great live bait.
