Ange1 Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 It's been windy today, and I've just seen our two recycling boxes blow past the patio doors. Goodness know where the 20 odd milk bottles, marge tubs etc are. Prbably freeked out the girls too I think they are unsightly, note to self, must find a solution!

little chickadee Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 I've put "down the side of the house" as we have wheelie bins for paper/card/plastic/compostable waste. We keep our glass recycling in the conservatory though until we get too much then I hint to OH it would be a good idea to visit the recyling depot in the village! We used to use stacking IKEA recycling boxes when we were in Brum as they don't take up very much room in the cupboard under the stairs then.

abwsco Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 I could do with two votes as our recycling boxes are kept in the garage but our wheelie bins are outside on the patio. Did have them in the gaarge as well but there isn't the room now all my chicken feed and bedding etc is in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helly Welly Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 Our council provides different colour bin bags for recycling so we have two kitchen bins lined with these bags either side of the front door. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tina C Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 We don't have boxes any more, just wheelie bins. They don't blow away! We use our old green box for glass to take to the bottle bank. Perhaps you could weigh down your box with a couple of bricks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theherd123 Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 We keep all our recycling stuff in the garage (our own personal recycling centre) and then take it all to the council recycling centre once every month or 6 weeks as door step recycling is terrible round here! I agree with Snowy - a brick in the bottom might help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helly Welly Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 We have three bricks in the bottom of our dustbin as it used to roll up the street on windy days. A brick on the lid stops that flying away too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
