PetraPandakerbside collection is the worst invention. It allows people to be pigs and pretend they are sorting shit, when the result shows that half of it is contaminated and therefore not re-processable.
That is why recycling does n;t work in AUS, why soft plastic reprocessing doesn't work - man we can't even get people to understand that kitchen and garden organics does not include plastic bags, EPS, saucepans or shoes...
I believe in the one bin policy... And have it sorted ... As you can't trust humans

That never works.

the gripe ibis@PetraPanda @MelissaBearTrix haha i remember a couple of times the recycle at our flats overflowed a couple times in a row. got angry stickers from the bin men and everything.
third time around i had a dig about to see if it was something that could be solved by breaking down a couple boxes. someone must’ve been buying furniture, lots of ikea boxes. and under the ikea boxes? the old ikea furniture.
community composting for those who don;t have a garden where they can dispose of their kitchen waste and reduce it's volume and weight by 80% and keep the compost for their garden and veggie patch.
Extra GRRRRRR fuck ... this was trialed and implemented in many European countries 30-odd years ago. Surely we can learn from them, rather than from the USA for a change?
Have a look inside of one.
$5 says it contains so many contaminants, it can't be used fir composting.
Community, as in down the road, in the park nearby, on school grounds, public spaces...
Oh that community ... Inner West council told us to stick it in the green bin, as it all goes to the same place ... I think they meant composting ... Giggles

They can't compost it if it contains contaminants that could rendervtge compost toxic.

That why you having one bin works ... It all gets sorted
I remember a documentary, about it somewhere in Europe that trialed one bin and had ways of sorting it, even down to coloured glass and type ... It was rather high % that was recycled... Over all it was a positive

Eric LawtonMy grandfather had an allotment in England, from WWII until he died in the late 1950s.
It had a community compost heap.

The horrendous festering fly breeding putrid filth in the green bin isn't concentrated enough!?
