Trash Can...

We are escaping into the trash can today. It is a fact that we cannot deny - we all got very hooked on the one-use plastic bag. I suspect that like our family you had one of those sausage things that you stored them in once the shopping had been unpacked. That is unless it had holes in it, the handles were falling off or it, or was one of those silly small ones...these went straight into the garbage can and then into the landfill to drift around for years. No need for that now...

...but lets come back to the good ones in the sausage. In the kitchen is the bin and whenever it needed it, like us, you plucked a bag from the bottom of the sausage and placed it in the bin. Invariably it leaked and made a mess of the bottom of the bin, when it was full and you took it out to the dustbin it dripped yuk in blobs of liquid over the floor...and you thought it had no holes!!
So they weren't so good...

Now, what did we do in the "old days"? Why have we forgotton so readily? Well, we used to put the garbage in the trash can, sometimes with newspaper in the bottom. We took it out to the dustbin, in its entirety, with no leaks - as trash cans don't leak, and tipped it into the dustbin. We then came back and gave the trash can a quick 'swill around' with water, put a bit of disinfectant and paper in the bottom and off we went again....EASY
