Can someone please

give me permission to throw out some yogurt containers? In BC you could recycle them, along with all other 2, 4, and 5 recyclable plastics by putting them in your bin at the curb. Here I've been thinking I'll find a use for them, but my "tupperware" drawer and the cupboard next to it are now crammed with yogurt containers, plastic egg cartons, and coffee tins. One day my house is going to burn down as they combust from the sheer pressure of me cramming one more yogurt container in that huge stack and shutting my cupboard door. Oh yeah, and can someone explain to me why the President's free range eggs come in plastic containers instead of paper? Is it too much to ask that we get TWO things right in the same product?

I'll give you permission, but please don't look in my kitchen closet to see my stack of them, or my permission will be more meaningless than ever.

My big plan was to save them and pay the big girls per container to fill them up with berries for the freezer. I don't think our raspberry bushes can produce that many berries, though....

Nope, no permission. You have to start painting with Andrew to use them all up. Alternatives include: Making a funky lamp cover by gluing botomless containters together in a sphere, hold beads in them, plant watermellon seeds or other such summer veg. The posibilities are endless!

Why don't you write some letters about getting more recycling options in your community?
Or find a day care to donate them to.

or bring them to saskatoon and let someone here recycle them for you ( I would do it, even though we only know each other through mdc and apnfl lists :)

Oh, go ahead and throw them out...or send them to Jonathan for paint containers...That's where all our margarine tubs are, in a stack in the storage room, for him to use for paint, someday.

Well, you are all far too proactive. Especially you Glasgows . . . what are you, Scottish or something?
