Our council won't collect glass, so we use a plastic box, drive to a supermarket we rarely use and post bottles and jars into a bottle bank and get a satisfactory smashing sound!
@wakelys it was cut short for potterying. Nails grow at the same rate as the mid-Atlantic ridge separates, so if I manage four weeks without filing/breaking the nail, that's how much further we'll be from our pigging friends!
I remember the bottle bank runs. Fortunately, for several years now, our council accepts empty glass bottles into the recycling wheelie bin with all the other recycling. But we don’t have a food waste collection here which I believe some councils do.
That must be so satisfying to hear it. Like @wakelys I am going to be watching the growth of that nail, especially since you added that fascinating information about the rate of growth. This is a really interesting storytelling photo.
Our trash collection system is an amazing site to see. The trucks that run on fuel produced from garbage, deliver all our trash (unsorted now except for green waste) and it is sorted by some amazing machines. I couldn’t believe it when I toured it.
