We didn't do quite as well as Davis household, but then we don't have a "junior compactor" on our staff. We had the bin collected twice during Lent and reckon that it was just over half full in total. We need to push Runnymede BC for plastic collection, as this was the major contributor to our waste, particularly meat trays, yoghurt pots, cellophane packaging etc. Our composter is also now well underway, but we will be searching the garden for some worms to get it cooking !! Look out for articles in future parish magazines to help keep up the momentum of this initiative.
A big thank you to Bryony and family for stirring us to do this and become a little bit greener,

IT IS FINISHED!
Tomorrow the Davis family bin will be put out for the dustmen with six whole weeks of rubbish.... And this is what is looks like - amazing eh?!! Six weeks of rubbish - about half a (well compacted) bin. And that includes the unrecyclable-in-Surrey plastics. It doesn't even smell too bad (that Neutradol is powerful stuff!!)
We should add that we have decided to remove Joe from the bin - as he takes up a lot of extra space......
We feel triumphant and a little amazed - we really haven't found it that difficult to do.
