As long as the standard jar isn't a Marmite Jar. Now we all know everybody needs at least 10 jars of Marmite in the house, in case there's an apocalypse or something. But they don't store with space saving in mind. :P
Yes indeed, and the apocalypse was Boris's coronavirus restrictions that closed pubs and therefore breweries causing a shortage the byproduct yeast that's always been the main ingredient of Marmite.

It's a well known fact that Marmite protects you from nuclear blast waves, and giant mutated zombie cockroaches. But their jars should be made more storable I can't deny. Then they might be more recyclable, (although what you might put in the jar after it's had Marmite in it is beyond me.) :P

I’m just gonna throw this out there: I pay for commercial waste collection at the office, and they don’t even ask me to separate general and recyclable waste because they do it themselves.

So why exactly do we need twenty bins?

Doesn’t surprise me that they’re reinstating brown bins either, given the fact that no checks are done anyway. Our neighbour put our brown bin out and it was collected… we don’t pay for brown bin collection

Maybe they're unhappy at all the garden waste in the green bins? Whilst compostable I bet it fills the landfills much quicker, and if they're going to sort it themselves it'd be cheaper to ask us to do it.

Is it true that the council are taking refuse collection and the local tips back "in house" as is is cheaper for them to run rather than outsourcing ?

There are no landfills (not for green binned waste around here anyway)...

As a kid taking bottles back was a major part of your income. A good idea thrown to the wind by plastic which now thoroughly infects the sea. I shouldn't really say this because I never declared to the tax man all the thruppences I received .... :|
Best time was when the shop would store the bottles out the back, on full view of every kid passing. You'd swipe a couple, never anymore or the lady behind the counter would catch on, get the money back. Do that a few times a week and you'd soon have enough buy a bottle of pop for yrsen!

To be fair to plastic bottles, the non-returnable glass bottle arrived long before the plastic bottle was at all common.
