OK, I lied. I’m not done grousing. Number 8 on the TTT list of things that bug me about this area concerned recycling. I have just a little bit more to say on that subject.
A fledgling recycling effort is struggling to get off the ground in our county. Somehow this small group has managed to persuade the county fathers to institute a program strategically locating community recycling receptacles around the county. These receptacles are large and yellow. They are called BINNIES.
Binnies. What the hell kind of name is that? Binnies sounds like something a snotty-nosed toddler has plugged into its mouth or a dirty rag being dragged around by that toddler. Oh wait… that’s Binkies and Blankies.
At each site there are separate Binnies for plastic, cans, paper, etc. So far, so good. But the geniuses who designed – and/or named – the Binnies not-so-thoughtfully included LETTER-SLOT sized openings. Thus, bottles and cans have to be individually deposited, and about one day’s worth of newspapers can be put in at time. Not real conducive to encouraging participation.
Oh well, it has been said that a thousand mile journey begins with one small step.
