The city of Edinburgh’s recycling program has grown and improved dramatically in the past two years. Suddenly we have kerbside recycling and lots of large wheelie-bins close-by. It’s got to the point that the Weasel and I only throw out one carrier bag of rubbish a week between us. (In fact, he points out that while the rest of the UK is scoring really badly in terms of landfill, Scotland is beating all its recycling targets. Wahey! Oh, but we’re still only recycling 28% of the waste we produce, where other countries are reaching rates of 70% or more.)
So we’ve got a ways to go yet. For instance, I’d like to recycle an old piece of electronics equipment. I live where it says “Old Town” on the map. Let’s see where I’d have to go… Ah. Yeah. To one of those numbered points out on the edges of the map. So this means using a car… to do recycling.
Anyone want a scanner that only works on its side?
