Heres an even better idea. We could weave the swarf with the elastic bands and create jewellry which we could sell on ebay. Add a few spare screws and some triangle foam, and we could start www.webjewelsfromhillarysleftovers.co.uk. We could also reuse the small plastic sealable bags to pack it in, and cut the cardboard up to use as stiff backing for posting |

Or better still, sell the venetian blind boxes to Toblerone so they can produce giant Toblerones for Christmas. Joking apart though, I do respect any one that spares any time at all to do anything on recycling as too many people are of the throw away attitude now. We are wrecking our planet and big business is the major culprit. All in the name of money, the root of all evil. |

And to correct your final sentence, its "the love of money", that is the root of all evil. Ref: NLT, 1 Timothy 6 vs 10 - For the love of money is at the root of all kinds of evil. And some people, craving money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many sorrows. |

The need for money to survive, that is the root of all evil. Red |

i got some ueb's that are reduntant....down south we are so busy we now have to glue the blinds up as instead of top fixing into horrible brickwork, thought we could save them all up and sell them to china, there is a metal shortage there and we could get maybe £30 to pay for the Hillarys Xmas party I save all of the metal swarf from drilling into conservatories and lintels .Auntie Hillary weighs it inputs it into a excel spreadsheet sorts it into lengths and then once every 10 to 12 years has enough to make a Brillo pad saving 32pence thats time and cost efficient . Has any one else got any tips  Have the trainee rag and bone men gone quiet |

Although I do also do the good citizen bit and recycle what I can from the masses of packaging delivered to my door each week. Richard |

Richard Whats wrong with making a few quid from charging for dumping cardboard and packing shite?? Get a life, and dont be so wet!! I am not a save the planet type anyway--Frankly I believe it is truly a con. So the Planet gets warmer--Thats nothing new the Romans grew grapes for wine making in Wallsend by Newcastle-upon-Tyne leass than 2,000 years ago--so the planet cooled a bit and now its warming up a bit. Equatorial forest covered Lincolnshire and Yorkshire--hence Whitby Jet which is fossilised Monkley Puzzle resin--for thousands of years-- We are due another Ice Age--The Antarctic Ice shelf Did not Break off this Spring--but was that in the Press?? Was it hell Its just an excuse to tax us more and use fear to control us. The Cold War is Over Saddam is a goner Lets try Global Warming--that shouldkeep the Plebs in line and the sad thing is some of you believe it?? Bear |

Even George Bushes Scientists are agreed Global warming is for real.
We cannot continue to dump waste in Lanfill.
All Councils operate a recycling scheme so customers will have no problen gwtting rid of Cardboard. There are somme who cannot be bothered to recycle.
If you take Cardboard away and put it with your recyclable it becomes commercial waste and you should pay Council to collect it as other legitimate bussiness have to do. Why should a 60 million plus turnover company get away with not paying to dispose of their waste. To mix this waste with your own Domestic is an offence.
Also if you take commercial Wate to the local tip its an offence.
Most Councils now have waste enforcement officers so you could easily find yourselves being prosecuted.

George Bushes scientists/advisers tell him what they are paid to tell him.
He is a puppet--as is Blair
They told him about Weapons of Mass Destruction---all balls
They told him to invade Iraq twice--both balls
He does what he does because of Oil --same reason we invaded the Falklands--I was there --its sits on an oilfield twice the size of the WHOLE North Sea--Norways bits included.
We (The brits) will exploit it when it is commercially viable to do so.
Iraqs oilfield is bigger than Russias--thats why we are there.
Not to liberate people
Just to Pillage it---thats why
And if some of our soldiers get topped in the process, then lets charge the parents £730.00 to get a photo-copy of the Coroners Inquest -- done at Brize Norton--Thats reality--get a life and check out reality--
Do not believe the press in this country it is controlled--It is not Free as we are led to believe---
It is used as a means to communicate with the masses
What we should recycle are blasted politicians.
The saddest thing in the world is a coach full of MP's going over a cliff--with an empty seat!!!
