Yes, very useful those cups. You pile them on top of each other to drill a drainage hole (well, actually, you get your other half to drill a drainage hole but with a name like Dunc you must have your own drill )
On a similar vein, and also requiring another half with a drill (it's not that I think girls don't use drills, just this girl, who injures herself opening pasta ), Treacodactyl used to collect used, washed food trays from a cafe where his office bought coffee. The cafe gave them out as trays to take the cups out in - and yes, he brought back the cups too!.
Very sturdy seed trays they make, we're still using them at least two years later. |

Ive seen the depressing sight of some halfwit chucking my painstakingly sorted recycling into the back of the none recycling truck..... he was none to pleased when I told him to go fetch ! He muttered someting about health and safety, maybe he thought I was standing too close to the button that operates the squishing machine!
We only have it collected every other week so that was two weeks wasted. The man at the waste management company was a picture of apathy when I called to tell him, its not hard, I said, Green- recycle, Black-not. How longs the training course for that job ????
Our local Council only lets us recycle a limited amount of items, even packaging that has the Recycle logo on it can't be unless its a bottle ! Cans, card, glass, paper and plastic bottles are all that we can recycle and yet there are lots of logo'd products we have to put in the black waste bag..... its disheartening to see them being wasted, so where we can we dont buy products that can't be recycled (like deodourant cans; buy roll-ons instead!)
People here have got all upset because the waste system has been changed to Wheelie-bins and coloured bags (Green Recycle Red Card Glass into a plastic box Wheelie bin Non Recyclable) Nobody seems to want to change !
It would be so much easier to stop waste at source, companies who over package products tell you great they are by using recycled material all 20 bits of it to wrap a box of jaffa cakes or what ever !
