    Now that the silly (huge waste of money!) Auckland Council recycling
    bins are due to start being used on 1 July, where do we get rid of the
    old recycling bin??

    We don't want to use it for the Auckland Council's new rubbish
    collection scam... err, "scheme". We just want to get rid of it.

    Maybe everybody should simply dump it on their local council office
    doorstep to teach them to stop wasting money on stupid unnecessary
    ideas!!

    You mean the plastic crate? They make good worm farms.

    The even older small plastic crate *is* useful. We've been using it to
    hold the paper recycling.

    I mean the now-old wheelie bin which has pointlessly been made useless
    for anything and takes up a lot of space.
