    Staff are on furlough

    When doing our millyan paaahnd kitchen we put in 4 bins:
    Compost for food waste which we compost ourselves for the garden
    Landfill - which is only collected every other week here

    Plastic and metal - they are collected together
    Cardboard and glass - these are separated prior to collection which is easy as the glass sinks to the bottom

    Tomorrow is recycling collection so just about to separate out the cardboard and glass into their receptacles and to put the plastic and metal into their bin.

    The German segregatedbinpulloutcupboarddrawer and doing most of the sorting before bin day makes tonight’s task pretty simple.

    I am very excited to get one of those as soon as our €2k kitchen (embarrassing, I know) is finished. Ikea should be around tomorrow to deliver the carcass, I've held out on ordering a door for the sink cupboard as I might divide it into drawers to fit a HÅLLBAR
    Abfalltrennungslösung.

    Fun fact: In Germany Ikea bins come with little stickers so you can colour code them to match the bins outside.

  • It’s such a great time saver and not having to separate things after a week of being jumbled together is so much less unpleasant.

    We eat a predominantly plant based diet so compost the vast majority of food waste. But our dogs will scavenge composted carcasses from the large compost boxes so these get sent off in the food waste caddy.

    One time a local farmer dropped off a couple of tons of manure and our dogs dug out a couple of stillborn lamb carcasses which had been rotting for 12 months.
