It would rot quite readily, apart from glass and metal. Both the latter will disappear naturally eventually. Had they just piled it up and let it compost naturally it would have all gone anyway.

We will all have an electronic key to open the new bins, and we will be counted each time we use them. I can see rubbish being thrown in the hedgerows, damage to the electronic system, or even people stockpiling their bags and putting twenty in at one go. It's open to abuse all over. As for the cost, it's not that much more than we're paying at the moment, but that's not to say that a 'cost review' won't happen every year.Cro Magnonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06840670227576695352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-28183056116779159262019-12-03T08:22:58.163+00:002019-12-03T08:22:58.163+00:00If you shop in Lidl they have recycling bins for y...If you shop in Lidl they have recycling bins for you to remove your newly purchased food packaging.
