Also useful to put your kerbside rubbish bin as far away as possible.

When you're up to the challenge, the smaller the bin, the greater challenge you have and if you over come this challenge it would be so fulfilling because in a small way you were able to make a difference and was able to help our environment.<br /><br />And yes, anything can happen and anything is impossible if you have a vision.Johnhttp://www.pacebutler.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1140894823591123770.post-9934723767060035282009-09-14T15:37:14.974+01:002009-09-14T15:37:14.974+01:00Hi Layla - well you should have seen the bin man&#...Hi Layla - well you should have seen the bin man's face when I took it out today LOL.

And yes Mr A has often threatened that if I had a bigger house it would still be crammed :-D<br /><br />Must admit, I've had to hide it from the children this week. So it's a good job we don't have any rubbish so far :-D <br /><br />Hi Lisa - Yay for small bins. And your old trash bin sounds like it's now got the perfect role. It's most definitely the way to go :-DAlmost Mrs Averagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03566374419318255177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1140894823591123770.post-45057050722418824182009-09-10T02:21:04.898+01:002009-09-10T02:21:04.898+01:00I love your tiny bin!

About the size of a paper grocery bag (do they still make those?)

Filling any available space with clutter in our homes. It's the same with our bins - a large bin = more room to chuck stuff away.<br /><br />Excellent post Mrs A ;)mrs greenhttp://myzerowaste.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1140894823591123770.post-58773127060331372332009-09-08T14:11:16.092+01:002009-09-08T14:11:16.092+01:00Hi Maisie - glad you like it.

It really does help having a useful visual target doesn't it :-D<br /><br />Hi Danda - Hee Hee. Yep, do pop over to Mrs Green's site to find out more. You can join in too if you like. Great going on your local activities too. Ciao for now K x :-D<br /><br />Hi Cartside - lovely to see you and great news about the extra facilities. I completely understand the extra impact of another bin though. Same happened to me last year. Sharing with neighbours is a great idea if you can make it happen though. Do try and good luck :-DAlmost Mrs Averagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03566374419318255177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1140894823591123770.post-76672602191620655902009-09-08T11:09:30.797+01:002009-09-08T11:09:30.797+01:00;)

I really don't like three massive bins in my tiny garden. And because we dont' produce a lot of waste, half the size for all three of them would be more than enough. I keep thinking that I should ask our neighbours if they would be interested in sharing bins...cartsidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07443437791014670129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1140894823591123770.post-3012536238853420152009-09-08T09:07:04.153+01:002009-09-08T09:07:04.153+01:00LOL

With so small dimensions you wouldn't have any temptation to fill the bin! :D<br />So is it the National Zero Waste Week? I must check it on Myzerowaste... I'm curious to know!<br />In the meantime, I was engaged in an event in my town where I did announce my very first Zero Waste Week! I'll report it soon on my blog... so see you there! ;Ddandaworldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03539992452778511972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1140894823591123770.post-73984148318732784442009-09-08T08:29:34.177+01:002009-09-08T08:29:34.177+01:00love it Karen!!
