Most here are glued on so well that you would use an awful lot of hot water (that costs money) and get yourself into a lather of sweat.<br />All households in Australia, well ones in States, I have recently visited have two bins.<br />Even each apartment in a big apartment building is allocated the two bins.<br />The Yellow ones are for recycling stuff and the green one is for rubbish. The yellow ones are collected fortnightly, the green on a weekly basis. Two different rubbish trucks, as for what happens after collection, well I don't know!<br />As for removing labels, I would be surprised if that would work here, I for one, would not be wasting my time - ha ha.<br />Colinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8688207620251526295.post-74329852854236595082012-11-20T11:09:07.014-07:002012-11-20T11:09:07.014-07:00Packaging is way over the op.
