The Orange Bin

Things to be donated and things for the new orange bin in the cellar: the one which takes not only small electric appliances, but also used clothing. Cool. I really like that my waste stream is diverted.

One of the benefits of living in a city

We decided that there was no place in the apartment for this rather attractive clothes hamper, but I hate to discard something that still serves its purpose,a lthough no longer my own. So we put a note on it saying that we would discard it on Monday if no one wanted it and put it outside our building under the roof overhang (it's Berlin, it's raining).

It was gone within the hour. Win/win: someone has something to use and I don't need to add to the waste stream (although recycling of metal in Berlin is pretty easy)

Double duty.

A post pertinent to Germany that fits in so well here.
