I dragged my bag of makeup empties into town for recycling only to be told it had fallen apart, whatever that means, I suggested they might update the scheme so people know. I knew I wouldn't be able to get rid of it, on paper these things work but they never seem to work in practice, not where I go anyway.

Stash level hasn't changed much over the year but I got to July before having any INs so that's a win, and my stash is more of things I'll use and less random stuff so I guess that's a win of sortsNot buying unnecessary toiletries 2024 26/53 UU, 25 IN2 -
