Recyclage ♻️

Earlier this year our village joined the growing trend of having large, communal waste containers installed. The idea is to reduce the cost of collecting bins, and to encourage greater levels of recycling. I must admit I had my doubts. People don’t like change, and worse still they don’t like it when it means more effort, but it’s been way better than I had imagined. After a few times of finding the bins full, and having to return with our rubbish, they seem to have gotten the hang of emptying them more frequently now, and it’s a much better experience.

According to the six monthly news letters we receive in the post it’s also having a positive effect on recycling, so hoorah for that. I can’t wait though for the planting to grow and conceal them from the road, then all we will see are the vineyards again. Although I have to add our village does keep the area clean and litter free.
