I know I sometimes use plastic rubbish bags for rubbish but try not to as when I went on a tour of the recycling facility that take the rubbish and sorts through for the compostable bits, they asked they we not use rubbish bags but rather something like newspaper as this is compostable and makes the sorting much easier. I know that in some councils, the equipment can handle plastic bags. I remember when our rubbish and scraps were always wrapped in newspaper.<br />It is amazing how negative some people can be with their comments to the paper. A lot of people don't seem to see the bigger picture.Bruise Mousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01594691638279041410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-815417394312980369.post-43561973116114226772012-02-14T13:57:26.178+08:002012-02-14T13:57:26.178+08:00I know exactly what you mean.

I think not.Bruise Mousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01594691638279041410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-815417394312980369.post-25331498167780906872012-02-14T12:07:03.041+08:002012-02-14T12:07:03.041+08:00Its a great start! Thanks for posting about it. ...Its a great start! Thanks for posting about it. The comments at the end of the article are very disappointing though, what is wrong with these people? I use green bags by choice because I prefer them. I still seem to end up with plenty of plastic bags for garbage bags, how much garbage do these people make? grrrrr.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12874273438983052621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-815417394312980369.post-60343820957693864282012-02-14T11:07:26.349+08:002012-02-14T11:07:26.349+08:00I know it all has to start somewhere but it seems ...I know it all has to start somewhere but it seems really silly when I see all of those overpackaged items with three and even four layers of packaging being neatly stacked into those green bags.
