Reduce, Reuse, Recycle!

 The year has come to a close again which means that Christmas is sadly over. No more "waiting for Santa", turning on the tree lights or wrapping presents anymore. However, statistics have proven that Christmas is the busiest time for recycled goods....but how can that be?

 As we open our presents on Christmas morning (some earlier than others), we remove all the packaging from our gifts. This packaging has to go somewhere and so to the green bin it goes! As a result there tends to be an overflow in the last collection of the year.

 I come from a family with two brothers,who tend to be quiet lazy. When the cardboard milk cartons are empty, they like to leave it in the fridge shelf. Therefore, I usually end up going out to the bin in either hail, rain or snow to put the cardboard in the recycling bin. I feel that it costs nothing to recycle so why not do it. It benefits us all even if it's just a toilet roll!
