QUOTE (Andy Capp @ Sep 22 2011, 08:57 PM) Cat litter and nappies? Yep. You use re-usable nappies. You hold the separate 'gusset' down the pan & flush. They come out almost clean. Drop the rest in the nappy bucket & wash, but be careful with the powder you use. Train your cat to go outside. If it won't you fish out the turds & flush them down the pan.

QUOTE (Biker1 @ Sep 23 2011, 03:25 PM) OK, make the black bin collection bi-weekly, but PLEASE give us a suitable, bigger replacement for that useless green sack that we have to try and cram all our plastic and metal waste into. You can try the following - milk from the supermarkets comes in HDPE bottles - which has a low melting point. So, if you pour boiling water, strainght from the kettle into an empty bottle & swish the water around the HDPE will become soft. If you then quickly empty the hot water out ( but be careful! ), squash the bottle and plunge it under the cold tap, the plastic will 'set' in the squashed shape & take up far, far less space. Taking aluminium to Tesco at Pinchington lane gets you 1 clubcard point for each can popped into their recycling 'machine'.

QUOTE (Andy Capp @ Sep 23 2011, 04:20 PM) I just stand on all the tins and plastic milk bottles. Does the job. milk bottles will slowly 'open' back out & take up more space. By applying heat, you reset the shape of the plastic.
