The Big Plastic Count

I'm not saying this is right for todays living, but I was brought up with a single coal fire in the living room. All burnable waste went on the fire (Granted it was mainly paper and cardboard as plastic wasn't so prevalent then) Even veg peelings were added to fire to clean the chimney outThe only thing that went into the bin was the coal ash, hence the 'ash bin'.

How things have changed.
