There is a big shed near the front entrance which appears to house the recycling aspect. They have a giant conveyor belt with paper sliding up to the top to be packaged into giant paper cubes.
Up near the tip face is a multitude of rubbish dumped over the ground. It looks disgusting. We just added to it. Nappies, styrofoam boxes, cardboard boxes, bits of wood off cuts, plastics, more plastics, bits of metal and other unidentified objects. Then our stuff. Stuff we had lying around the yard and (gulp) inside my home :(
I'm disgusted by the sheer amount of stuff that WE had and what was out there. Telling myself "okay, let's kill these bad habits" recycle more. Use less plastics, throw less away.

Any hoo
The kids were thrilled to witness a truck pull up and tip a heap of building rubble out.
Another truck came and tipped a heap of sand out. Dust went everywhere.
Another section was at the tip for green stuff like trees and branches and stuff.
I introduced recycling into our home in 2011. No joke our previous town did NOT do recycling. So it was a newish thing for us. I first checked out what our local town recycles, then taught the children how to identify rubbish to recycling. The triangle means its recyclable. How cool is that?
We've been watching the rubbish truck since Isaiah was 1 1/2 yrs old. Still comes by week in and week out. I'm so glad ;)
