Recycling Questionnaire

[squirmelia]

This questionnaire is for my "design experience" which is happening for the next few weeks in a sub-basement. No cardboard convenience stores are involved this time though, apparently.

[Poll #1149982]

I forgot to add these questions, so answer them in Comments:
1. What do you think of Dusty Bin?
2. Submit photos or descriptions of your bins and where you keep them.

Thanks!

I have a running battle with my kerbside recycling guys - each week I put out things that the leaflet I have says they'll take and they leave them. Eventually they'll take my old shoes and a big metal saucepan, but until then the battle continues.

I recycle pretty much everything I can, which makes my kitchen a bit of a mess because I leave most of the dissovable stuff in there until recycling day and then forget to take it out. I also don't recycle food stuff if it's raining as the food bin is outside.

The lovely people of Ealing council have given me a green box (with not enough water letting out holes in) and a green handled square bucket with a lid for food waste and pick them both up every week on a Tuesday. I did fill in a survey last year asking about how I'd like things to change, including combinations of regularity of collection and size, shape and number of bins, but as yet nothing has changed. They do a pretty good job though now and pick up most stuff, although they like to leave big piles of cardboard out in the rain, but I ascribe that to spite.

I tried to recycle a microwave once but they wouldn't take it at the dump, so it's still sitting in my kitchen, now acting as a "paper to recycle" podium.

And I'm scared of Dusty Bin's fixed expression of happiness. Ted Rogers is up there for unnatural manual dexterity and his similar expression.
