When I was a kid we just threw stuff away. A bloke came down the drive, picked up the bags out of the bin and threw them in the back. I can't believe how complicated it has all become. Now you practically have to do it all yourself and all the bin man does is put the bin on the back of a lorry. He doesn't even put it back properly. I caught my wife today washing up a yoghurt carton. I ask you. How ridiculous is washing your rubbish - not to mention energy intensive. She then took off the cardboard outer to discard the bits that you can't recycle and left them out to dry. I just lobbed the lot in the other bin when she wasn't looking.
