Using a carrier bag to line kitchen bin?

LuciferTDark

You'd be looking at a £100 fine if you put newspaper in the non-recycling bin in this area, even if it is to wrap up food type scraps. The guys emptying the bins have a nose inside before they move them, anything that shouldn't be in there & the bin gets left unemptied & they report back to HQ the address where the bin comes from so the fine can go in the post that day. Barstewards!

i know.....i know....use cloth bags,which i do.However i have forgotten them at times,my dp never uses them and when we make purchases for things other than food we always have the carrier......
wondering if you have any uses for them that i havnt tried?
we use them to line my bin at work,i have used them for nappy sacks in emergencies.....stop fish from making making other food absorb the aroma in the freezer(dp insists it does?).swimming bag........any other ideas as they are building up under my kitchen sink!

Put them over other half's head.


But make sure they don't have any holes.

That should half your bills.

Just put rubbish in bins as is. Wash/rinse the bin out every couple of days

I keep a small tupperware-type lidded box by the sink for compostables and empty it into the brown wheelie bin (compostable waste) every day. Saves me going out to the bin each time I use a teabag or anyone eats an apple.

Not allowed to do that here either, brown bin is for Garden waste only. Not even allowed to put glass in the normal bin. bl**dy ridiculous.

the rubbish that goes in the kitchen bin is mostly packaging

We recycle everything we can and STILL our bin is full of plastic packaging........ and I try to buy stuff that doesn't use it. By the time I take out the plastic windows out of the junk mail that comes and the other plastic wrapping that comes off it too, I must have a quarter of a bin full a week already! :mad:

If we could recycle plastic pots and packaging our bin would be completely empty!

edit Someone should bloody ban those plastic windows in envelopes, ridiculous.
