Where's my recycling bins??????????

Tweet

It was recycling bin day yesterday and we put out our black box (for papers and bottles) and our blue box (for cardboard and plastics). Then later when I went to take them in they were gone............ Obviously the bin men have put them back somewhere else, but walking around the neighbourhood I couldn't find anybody who had more than their alloted share of bins. We recycle a lot, and we already have a backlog building up here. So what should I do? What would you do? Would you perhaps knock on every door and ask if people received any extra recycling boxes that weren't theirs? Maybe get a megaphone, and shout about the injustice of having your recycling boxes pilfered.. Write notes and post them through every door (tho' this might be a bit too costly, and umm, not very environmentally sound!!). Put your recycling in the neighbour's recycling boxes. After all, they're all going to the same place. Might get a bit crowded though.. Or phone the council and ask them for some new boxes, even though there might be a charge for this (not sure?) (*Incidentally, if you're British and you've lost your recycling bins, did you have to pay for new ones????) Thanks!!
