Do We Actually Need Wheelie Bins?

By Daisy-Louise Poole

Imagine, you have four children and you’ve just got home from work and your rubbish bin is full and the wheelie bin is overflowed and the wheelie bin company doesn’t empty the wheelie bin until next week!

What would you do?

Wheelie bins should go back to being every Wednesday until people are better educated on recycling.

Did you know that if you live in Bannockburn you could save more $150 every year if you sent back your wheelie bin and put it towards a holiday or something!

Do you agree with every fortnight if you do consider this… once you start heading to the end of the first week it might/will overflow and wild dogs, possums and even cats might come and drag waste out of your bin and onto the street making it a health hazard.(Imagine the flies in summer…)

I have a question for you, with every small bar of chocolate bar you buy does it have to be individually wrapped ? As an alternative you could buy one big bar of chocolate and break a piece off every time you feel like chocolate and when all that’s left is the wrapping you could make it into a dolls dress!

Or instead of buying two fizzy drinks for children you could buy one big bottle and then when the fizzy is gone you could cut off the bottom of the plastic bottle and put some string through a ball and make a game. There are lots of ways to buy and make plastics into things without hurting the environment!

Did you know by the time this generation’s children have children there will hardly be any trees left in the world ? At the rate we’re going ,what a terrible world we are creating for future generations.

My solution is to reduce, recycle, reuse and to compost any food scraps to plant new fruits or vegetables to make a healthier family whilst reusing, be innovative!
