We have very little landfill material. Recycling places can be found
in
all areas. There are huge skips marked "metal, plastic, wood, TVs,
computers etc etc. In fact the landfill material had decresed so much
by the recycling of all paper, glass, timber, cardboard, milk cartons
etc,
and the composting of perishable food scraps etc, that most households
only require rubbish collection once every other week.


I have just put our 'rubbish wheelie' out and, as usual, it's no more
than half full - that's a fornight's worth.

Anyway, Iain - never mind the rubbish/reclaim - I've been hearing on the
telly lately that we in the UK throw out *30%* of all food bought in
this country! (!!!) I can't even begin to believe this - we throw
virtually *nothing* out here. Kitchen waste (peelings, stalks &c.) goes
on the compost and the odd bit of fat from a chop (or other similar
inedible) goes out on the back lawn and is never there in the morning!

(If that 30% figure is anything like right, there will be a *Biblical*
retribution one day soon, I'm sure - of *Old Testament* proportions!!)


In the case of guitar amps, vintage is still held in high esteem. So
old
Marshalls, Engl, and expcially Hi Watts are looked after with lots of
TLC. They are built in such a way that they can be repaired and
serviced.


Quite and so much flyaway/throwaway stuff these days isn't!!



Many are fifty years old and gigging six nights a week.
(The amps, I mean, not the guitar players:-)
