I would wish you here but you would be more comfortable there than here now. We are hoping you can come see us all soon.Speedyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01316193788889017833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20405359.post-1281610991669665882010-01-07T21:45:59.889-05:002010-01-07T21:45:59.889-05:00During the war in England, there were "Pig Bi...During the war in England, there were "Pig Bins" along the residential streets. It was to help feed the hogs, as part of the war effort.<br />All our metal fences and railings had already been taken to make tanks, ammo, and such.<br /><br />I am amazed at the amount of garbage some people have, now that we have curb pick up. I have hardly any. <br />If food is suitable for the ducks and fish, I take to the lake, even though I have a disposal. <br />I save every scrap of paper, food boxes, etc., and take it to the recyling bin at the school. Of course, any with names and addresses go in the shredder first.<br />Any plastic bags that have holes in them go to the plastic recycling bin, just inside the door at Walmart or HEB. Bags with tiny holes go to the thrift shops for their customers, and any with no holes, I use as trash can liners, or for the used cat litter.<br />So I don't have much to go to the landfill.<br />I wish they would enforce recycling around here, you should see what goes to our enormous landfill.<br /><br />Just think how much compost could be made from restaurant's waste?<br /><br />So that is what a sidewalk plow looks like! Thanks.<br /><br />Happy Trails, Penny, TXLakeConroePenny,TXhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00260039376684295639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20405359.post-58110146836157847982010-01-07T20:31:47.181-05:002010-01-07T20:31:47.181-05:00We have sidewalk snowplows as well here in Norther...We have sidewalk snowplows as well here in Northern BC - in the summer they attach a sweeper to clean the walks. However, we are disgusted with our community - no recycling pick up at all - so no blue boxes, no green.

The colors are even the same.

I'm amazed that in my travels, recycling in RV parks is rare to nonexistent. The exception was in California, where they collect most recyclables. For years Germany has collected kitchen waste along with all other recycling, and they use the compost generated to fertilize the city parks, gardens, and the like. I wish we in the U.S. were as committed.Gypsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18052445200220681513noreply@blogger.com
