We also fill the better part of a bag of rubbish a day. So by the end of the week our (large) wheelie bin is full. But we don't have recycling out here in the sticks! If we did, it would be half as full I would think! I also need to get a compost heap happening. That will reduce our watse even more. Plus I'd like to start using cloth nappies, though that's a matter of funds....we're not exactly abundant in cash at the mo! We have only moved here recently though (about 7 weeks ago)...it will all happen, one day!!
