Title: Bin Ladies
Post by: Gorgeous_bird on July 16, 2009, 19:00:37 PM: I have become used to seeing the ladies, followed by 2 or 3 cats, going around the bins in the area picking through other peoples rubbish to find anything that can be re-used, sold or fed to the chickens.

Over the years I have noticed that drinks cans (of which we go through many on holiday) are higly valued and so last year we started to save them up and then bag them up and leave the at the side of the bin, of course they snaffle the bags of tins straight away. It doesn't stop the ladies going through the bins, but I just feel it's a help. I wondered if any other Deliktas dwellers do this or if they would care to adopt this little scheme.
