recyclable? (1 Viewer)

[plug]

hey there.

I'm on a major spring cleaning buzz at the moment. I'm trying
to recycle anything that can be recycled; currently I'm going
through tons of accumulated kitchen junk. I'm here looking at
a lot of pots, pans, plates, glasses, casserole dishes, plastic
blender attachements etc. you name it.

some of the plastic things can go into the recycling, but what
about everything else. I could probably bring some of the
plates to the charity shop or something, but a lot of the stuff
is fairly unusable.

any suggestions? ta. d

edit: actually, I have a shitload of 3.5" floppies as well. and probably a load of useless cd-rs. is ANY of this shit recyclable?

try freecycle for gettin rid of the kitchen stuff if its still ok

throw it up in the air and shoot it

Make sure the charity shop wants your old plates etc. When i worked for age action we spent far too much time and money going to the dump to get rid of junk that people donated. I remember calling round in a van and a guy more or less emptying his shed - we then had to drive all the way to the dump and pay to dump every last piece of junk. Among other things he 'donated' a ball of string and a bucket with some set concrete in it.

good point. actually most of it was fairly unusable old shit.
I ended up chucking a lot of it late last night; I couldn't see
what else I could possibly do with it. I managed to keep a
fair amount of the plates etc. I hadn't thought about setting
up an impromptu clay pigeon range.. next time.

actually hanley, you might remember this, I found that
horrible weird heart shaped mickey mouse cup with all the
pointy angles that used to be knocking around the house.
possibly the most bizarre/useless/loosest definition of a
'cup' in existence!

I managed to jumbletown a drumkit and a car though so not
everything has gone into the bin. spring cleaning is great.

I have started taking a few paper coffee cup from work home with me for the walk to work in the morning.

Very happy with myself so I am.

I'm keeping my old plates for a landfill i have to do soon, as they are made of stone.

When I was super broke i used to nip into the charity store every week hoping for a useable saucepan as I only had one.

Good times.

Buy a reusable 'disposable' a la

Buy a reusable 'disposable' a la

I really should

I felt guilty about these ones piling up in my work bin

 

[тхеодоре кацзынски]

I'm in no position to talk actually, I bought one, got home and decided I didn't like it so binned it unused.

 

[7 - No tomorrow]

Also I stand around the kitchen in the morning, late for work, trying to finish the coffee I have made.

This seems like an elegant solution. Elegantish.

I just make a small coffee, throw it back in one then get a 'proper' coffee when I get to college. Dublin bus is stressful enough without spill anxiety.

 

[тхеодоре кацзынски]

Stay on topic.

i often bring my cup in the car if we're going into town at the weekend, which is a poor idea because the first few minutes of the journey is across subsiding, potholed cobbled streets
usually end up with half a cup left and coffee-soaked knees

 

[Reets]

The lids for the coffee cups they have in the local centra are too small to fit properly. Scalding your legs while driving is never a good idea, and yet I keep going back.
Might have something to do with it being 2.50 for a coffee and caramel slice ...

ive had a few drivers not let me bring my hot coffee on beacuse i 'could scald someone'. even though it has a fucking lid on it and im not fully retarded

There might be no greater spreader of miserableness than the Dublin Bus driver.
His day is not done til he's made others hate at least a part of their day.

Consider a little metal thermos 330ml if you make home coffee (wont fit in some shop machines). The 'reusable' pictured above has a lid that rips after a while. I've left my metal thing on the car floor for weeks at a time being kicked about and its grand.
