Recycling equipment arrived today
Well after the previous excitement of the Recycling Roadshow, the actual accoutrements arrived today. A grey-lidded bin, a green-lidded bin, a stash of clear bags and a piece of soggy papier-mache that I surmise is the leaflet describing all the acceptable recyclables. The expected lilac bags failed to materialise, so no paper and cardboard recycling is possible here at this point in time... also the requested (at the roadshow) composter (in place of the green-lidded bin) didn't materialise either - so a call to the recycling team will be required to sort this out.
I did notice that some of the neighbours were eying up all of their newly acquired bins with interest or possibly suspicion. No doubt some mention will be made in the letters pages of the Berwickshire News of the evils of so many wheelie bins and complicated bag content rules.

Indeed we have the lilac bags but no instructions at what day of the week to leave them out although this is not stopping people from doing so anyhow. They are still there, forelorn and ignored.

Fresh from talking to the recycling team, the replacement of the green-lidded bin with a composter and the lack of lilac bags has been noted and will be "dealt with ASAP"
