They have brought round a little brown bucket like bin with another inside to bring in your home to put all scrap scrapping in and then you have to put that out with the wheelie as well or you will get fined so they put on a leaflet when given to us.

Do you know what, we are not allowed to food food waste in the normal wheelie any more.

We have a seperate bin for tins, bottles, boxes. Which is also a good idea.

We have threeway recycling here. One wheelie bin for rubbish, one for bottles, cardboard boxes and plastics, and one for vege matter, including garden waste and food scraps. You definitely have to empty rubbish bins often and make sure your pets don't leave food in their bowl. The fly lifecycle seems to be speeded up in warm climates.

Yep, we also have a green wheelie for recycling items as well as those other two.

I also wrap my meat packages that i throw away in cling film so that the flies cant get in there.
I have found since doing that, that i have not had maggots any more.

You lot are so funny.
I will take all advice on board and double wrap everything.
Does anyone know where to buy a spider grabber thing. I have heard about them but cant find one.

Never seen a spider grabber big enough to cope with Aussie spiders, only English ones.
