Jen, hey darl!! when you have council pick up, is yours on a set day when it all goes out together? or do you need to book in, and is there a cost involved? Our council "hard rubbish "pick up needs to be booked in and there is no cost involved, but some people decide to add to your rubbish, and so you need to tell the council what is being put out, as sometimes things are put out that the council wont remove , then its up to the person to get rid of..but sometimes I have booked in and when I have put the stuff out, by morning most of it has been taken by "junk" or reno people... i don't mind that, but i dont like people adding big stuff without asking me first, we have two collections a year that we are allowed, but my neighbour and I combine ours so between us we get 4... its great to have a wonderful neighbour like I have, she is 88 and the sweetest lady, with the naughtiest sense of humour.. LOl! i can't even say anything without her turning it around.. like one day she said to me, did you have your fan on last night, my answer was "I actually had it off, last night" she started giggling and i could not figure it out for a minute ..til i said ,,"you have a dirty mind woman" she reckons its my fault for putting the thought in her head LOL!!! 88 and a dirty mind,, how'd ya be...

Hi Bear..........We have pick up i think twice a year......and its all included in the rates etc.

What we do is put 3 peoples rubbish together in one pile.....the old boy helps the olds next door as they are incapable of carrying stuff etc.........then we pile everything up neatly and ring the council to let them know that there is 3 families pile in one pile.....geez that took a bit of explaining:)

Love an oldie with a marvellous sense of humour.......she must have been a real laugh in her younger days.

Thank you for the lovely card.....i finally got my act together and went over to the mail box.....that was so nice of you to send that:)
