  1. Glad glass is going back into the yellow recycle bin. I have been taking ours out to Yamanto periodically. But re the green waste bin supposedly being introduced, no way we will be putting food scraps not wrapped/ sealed in a bin . Also I am not happy to pay for another bin on my rates . Btw, we still have the dark green lidded bin for household waste. Never been offered a red lidded bin. But quite happy without the red lid 🙂

  2. Why oh why do ICC no longer recycle glass. It is one of the most reusable/recyclable materials. No I don’t want to sell my bottles and cans. For a start they don’t take wine bottles and I have better things to do with may time than wait in a queue or painfully have to feed the items in one at a time. I am still looking for another LGA that doesn’t recycle all glass containers .. so far your it Ippy!!
