Bin (December)

December notes Tuesday night’s wheelie bins’ overcontented contents. Recycled only, yellow lid: broken crackers, wrapping paper, pretzel boxes, Advent calendar, shopping lists, misdirected cards, outdated diary, stocktake flyers, festive envelopes, electronic packaging, egg containers, party hats, shot champagne, empty Coonawarra, dead marines, fizzy non-returnables, sayonara Schweppervescence. General waste, darkgreen lid: turkey detritus, crumpled ribbon, yoghurt buckets, cheese gauze, sauce sachets, chocolate wrappers, icecream buckets, icecream bouquets, DVD sealwrap, Santa sock, voucher tins, tealight cups, bung lightbulbs, Scotch dispensers, nauseous napkins, frazzled frills, busted baubles. Green waste, lightgreen lid: pine needles, walnut shells, lemon rinds, coriander stems, humpty dumpties, tired flowers.
