jack: Glowing recycle symbol (getting things done)
Taken all of the large junk to the recycling centre ✓

That takes care of the old CRT monitor, the bike frame, the broken applicances, and the broken grater. That's not perfect, but everything that's especially difficult to throw away is gone.

The recycling centre is cool. It's surprisingly efficient with people squirrelling away all sorts of stuff. I wish there was actually designated parking though: the protocol seems to be "drive up to the bin you want and park directly outside and hope other people can still get past". I'm always too nervous that I'll be in the way and end up circling all the way round in the hope of parking somewhere out of the way. Although if it's safe to park behind the bins on the way out, it's actually a lot easier because you can just walk through to the front.

When Follow That Page told me that the council had added "textiles" to the "what you can recycle in which bin" webpage, I was all excited.

But it turns out that they just added it to the list of "do not put these things in your green bin".
