Strange German law of the week
Apparently the noise laws in Germany are quite strict. They're big into recycling and have bottle recycling banks all over the place. Unfortunately you are only allowed to throw bottles into these banks between 10am and 6pm on weekdays and not between 1pm and 3pm on Saturdays. And not at all on Sundays. Because the noise will disturb people. It also extends to mowing the lawn. Great (if a bit pinickity) in theory, except if you have a job! Like Janet. Who now has dozens of bottles filling up the kitchen (we like wine) and cannot find a time slot to take them to be recycled. And throwing them in the bin would probably be punishable by death.

How strange is that? What's the deal with those two hours on a Saturday? Odd.
Our local council has gone all green and recycley and we now have another friggin' bin to deal with. That makes 3 now - garbage, garden garbage and now paper garbage.
Of course there no mention of the masses of fossil fuels wasted to make the plastic that makes these bins though!!!!
:)
Woah that's mental! But it's mental in a good way I think. Maybe.
Careful Pep, the council might get the idea to make a giant wheelie bin wheelie bin if you know what I mean... ah senseless garbage (quite literally) at 12 in the morning!
awwww.. great work!
Thanks for all the help again, Cedia. Just need to find some more friends now. LOL
