I hate landfill sites!

What to do? I had a broken old TV, a broken CD player and a broken dolls push chair. They had to go to the landfill site. At least I was able to recycle a pile of cardboard and safely dispose of a couple of years worth of household batteries at the same time. I am slightly eased too that the electrical items will be recycled carefully and not just mushed and crushed with my household waste as would have happened if I had thrown them into the grey bin.



What to do? Clothes the kids have grown out of, a pile of toys they no longer need, some books we are done with? Well they are now bagged carefully and are waiting, outside the house carefully tucked under the eaves sheltered from the rain, on the first charity pick up that will take it all away and hopefully sell it to their profit.



What to do? An old bike and trike that the kids no longer need? They are not in the best of condition but someone would get a turn out of them. The landfill site is the easiest option but http://www.freecycle.co.uk/ is just the best. Been a while since I moved some of our stuff on this way that I will probably need to re-register. I kind of feel that everyone should be registered. Someone out there may need want you want to get rid of and they come and collect from you at your convenience. Win win!

So I can hate landfill sites and keep our house and garage a little more clutter free. Love it!!
