Three Coloured Bins

In our house here in Liverpool, there are three types of rubbish bins. The green one is for garden waste and fortunately during winter there are not many dry leaves to clear away. The blue one is for recyclable materials such as egg cartons, newspapers, glass, milk bottles and tin can. You don't have to put them in a plastic bag, just chuck them into the bin. Lastly, the purple one is for general rubbish and must be kept in a black plastic bag. 

The purple bin will be collected every Wednesday and the other two for every alternate Fridays. During major holidays, the city council pasted notices on these bins to inform the new collection arrangements. I find this rather neat.

Hey man, you don't mind if I use that picture on my blog do you? I can remove it if you object.

Here's the post.
