We have been living in a unit until we recently moved in to our own home. Living in a house is a totally different experience. We had to call the council before moving in to order the bins. We have two bins – red and yellow. Red is for general waste / landfill and Yellow is for Recyclable items. Every Wednesday night we keep the red bin out and yellow bin every fortnight. The council vehicle comes every Thursday to collect the rubbish.
Recently I came to know about some initiatives taken by our council. The council arranges a free of cost Worm Farming and Composting workshop for residents. After the workshop, they even present you with a free compost bin. My colleague is already composting and he said that he hardly needs to use the Red bin anymore as all his waste gets converted to fertiliser. I was super excited as I have always wanted to do this. I have registered for their workshop next month.
They have also started something called Green money. The council promotes the local business by providing offer ordeals at these restaurants, coffee shops etc! There were some amazing deals too and all we need to do is check the challenges and complete them. The points you collect on winning this challenge can be used to redeem the prices. They have shared links and URLs.
