The streets are full of brown whatchamacallits full of garden waste…this time of year, people are busy in their gardens…all those fallen leaves
linked to One Word Sunday at Debbie’s here
A day when the Whatchamacallits were out for collection

And in summer you put out the green thingies, don’t you? 😉 Very colour coordinated!
No, the green thingies are food waste, all year!
Here it is the other way round: green for material that can be recycled, brown for food waste, blue for glass, and black for the rest. But your photo looked so colour coordinated that I couldn’t resist.
Thanks, Elke!
BTW: Not just confusing in another country – in Germany every area does their own thing. Where we lived before plastic recycables went into yellow flimsy plastic bags, paper was collected separate and I can’t remember the colour coding of the bins anymore. Glass had to be brought to large collection bins. Now we throw every plastic and paper wrapper as well as newspaper in one bin, glass is collected once a month. And there are other systems in other areas! 🙄
I just don’t see why there can’t be a consistent system throughout a country!
There is two answers to that. Firstly, Germany is a federal state. Secondly, garbage disposal is a question of regulations by the districts (Landkreise). But I agree: it would be so much easier if it was the same everywhere.
Similar here on the second point….each local council has its own ideas
Not in Cornwall. Green bins are general rubbish destined for landfill. We have yet to get food waste collections. End of next year, I think.
OK!
Very confusing when you go to another county!
Yep
I was thinking exactly the same. In my part of the country we are summer-themed and garden rubbish goes in the large green bins.
OK!!
yay you came across some whatchamacallit, or are these thingmejigs?!
Haha!
I think they are just bins Sue. No need to get melodramatic. And I hope they are not full of Leaves. Leaves make lovely leaf mold.
Oh, how prosaic!
😂😂
Sorry Jude. Mine are always full of leaves and acors at the moment. With two oak trees, I think there is already enough leaf-mould. 🙂
Very good!
I guess it’s fair to say that you are not a gardener 😊
Ooooh
Guilty as charged! 🙂
😊😊😊

Shame we couldn’t coordinate our bin colours around the country. It is very confusing when on holiday or moving house.
Too true!
And I meant to say what great colours – a nice view without the whatchamacallits!
Or indeed the doings!
We don’t have brown ones in my area, only green and black. How come we miss out? I try and bag up the leaves as they are swept into my garden by the wind and hope that they turn into good leaf compost within six months.
Still so colorful, ours are nearly bare.
Well, a lot has gone now….
So sad, new ones are here soon, trying to stay optimistic
Well, quite…it is the cycle of life!
We have three different colours, Green, (General waste) Grey, (recycling) and Brown (Garden waste). Nearby towns have completely different colours for the same things, including bright blue! I have settled on just referring to them as ‘Wheelies’. We have to pay £46 a year extra if we have a brown one!
Best wishes, Pete.
Yes, I used to pay that, back in the day….
We do have leaf pickup in my neighborhood, but it’s not as regular as it should be. So there are piles and piles everywhere! I don’t mind them so much — it’s fall, after all.
Just as long as they don’t get too Slippery!
🙂

My conversation is full of whatchamacallits!
Do dahs and thingummajigs!
