We were getting our recycling(plastic,cans,paper,glass) ready to go to the centre and my husband remarked that years ago people had one metal dustbin and ,even in his house with 6 kids, that was all that was needed.
Ashes from the fire went on the garden,scraps of food ,and in those days there were not many ,went on the compost heap,milk was in returnable bottles,anything burnable went on the back of the fire. So what went into the dustbin.
Those metal bins must have been heavy and lifted by one man on to the cart.Health and safety would have a fit nowadays.
