Topic: Up early on recycle day

[carolinej]

I will have to go for a look for one of these big water bottles on recycling day. Apparently they are ideal for  brewing large amounts of wine. I use 1 gallon demi johns, but when I have a glut of fruit, a huge one would be ideal.

If you go to the place that bottles the water, they often have bottles that leak, so give them away.

I rang a oocal place and they said I could have as ,many as I wanted :D

Take care

We pick up pallets from here there and everywhere. At the moment I'm collecting shweppes tonic bottles to cover mine and Bunjy's sweetcorn. Its a good job I drink Dry white wine and tonic. We have planted that  much sweetcorn that I'm having to tip the stuff down me neck. pmsl

Bricks

Why do people throw away perfectly good bricks?

All my paths are from skipped bricks.

I recently recovered about 50 beautiful paviors.

[cornykev]

I was given some big paving slabs from my builder mate and next door was throwing away some new bricks, don't know what there for yet Clay but they will come in handy for something.  ;D ;D ;D

Here's raising an old one, I snared another 6 bottles today, one 15L and five 20Ls, for you newbies I cut off the bottom and use for cloches and the bottom piece not to be wasted is sunken level with the soil filled with beer to catch the slugs. I was very lucky today, the idea of my tip was too get up early on Thursday to get the bottles, but this morning I was a bit late so was in a hurry, as I went past this house there were the bottles but where I normally hide them was off the cards, so I had to leave them, on the way home from work the recycle had all been collected except one house that had 6 lovely bottles outside, in the morning its dark so I just take them, so it was 2.20pm so I thought I would knock, the lady said they were next doors but she was out so I might as well take them, happy days, bish bosh, job done.   :P    ;D ;D ;D  ;)  :-*

I managed to get 6 water cooler bottles last year, cut the bottoms off and used them as whatyermacallums to go under big pots ;D The top bit went over my peppers on the plot. Hoping for some more this year. ;D

you lot are terrible...and i thought i was a scavenger or as i prefer a recyclinging hoarder,or magpie as the oh calls me.
you never know when something is going to come in handy !!

[cornykev]

I'm still finding the odd 20l bottle on recycle day.
But you know them people we love to hate who put their rubbish out the day before  >:( well I won't be slagging them off so much any more as on the way to the lottie I'm snaring some 5l bottles that still come in handy for cloches.    ;D ;D ;D

[Borlotti]

They come early and I don't want to get up early (as I am retired (retarded), so I put my rubbish, recycling out the night before, so there.  They came today, Monday, their usual day, but was a bit surprised as it was a bank holiday, and also the Council sweepers come after to sweep up the left overs, but missed some on the grass which I picked up. You can look through my bin any time.  ;D ;D

[cornykev]

Snared another 15L today.     ;D ;D ;D

[carolinej]

You lucky thing!!!

[cornykev]

Only snared another 15L yesterday, its the same house every time should I knock and ask them to save them, or will that take all the fun out of it.      ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;)
