The Three R's.....

...Recycle, & Reduce Rubbish! :D) Here in Timaru, we call our wheelie-bins Otto Bins.....or just plain OTTO....."Where shall we put this?" "Oh, feed it to Otto...." ;) Now, we have THREE new Otto Bins....a big one with a Green lid for Compost; a slightly smaller one with a Red lid for absolute Trash; and another big one, with a Yellow lid, for recyclable goods! The local council have got into the Recycle concept in a big way...anybody else have this kind of recycling? The hassle is, we have to rinse out everything that goes in the Yellow Otto........
