Shifted a ton of glass from an old greenhouse out into the car and off to the skip. Cut a big branch off a tree we plan to hinge-cut later. Then it started raining and we packed it in. I'm tired, but happy - it was a good day
Brave move shifting all that glass.
I was just a bit astounded that the recycling centre had literally no section for recycling glass.... that is one material easily recycled, and I had to throw it all into "household waste"
I've yet to go to one that didn't do glass. They even drop those things into supermarket car parks.
Yeah the ones for bottles, I see them everywhere. I know there's a big centre in Croydon which does glass, but the queue to get in is not something worth doing. We went to quieter one, and paid the price.
That being said, there's something cathartic about throwing a ton of glass into a furniture pit. I wanna say it's symbolic too of something, but cant be bothered to deconstruct the world right now
