I don't know if it's illegal, but I think I'd take offence if I saw someone scavenging through my rubbish, even if it was just the recycling.

Dunno. Would it be illegal to use you as a bail for that corner? You'd make a good one.

OK, cool.

Now it's just a pity that I think the milk tastes better from cartons ... I think due to the darkness.

Actually I've now (skim) read the MNZ guidelines where these bales are discussed; they mention that the milk bottles are ideal, but that any plastic bottles will do. Is it useful to collect OJ and softdrink bottles too? And is this useful in Wellington anyway? Shipping them to Auckland to be sewn into bales might be a bit more than it's worth.

Or would this be useful for Manfeild and elsewhere too?

Good idea Frosty. The way our mob gets through milk we'll be making an ok contribution.

It has the potential to be very nasty if you high side coming out of there. On my R6 I am (I think...) high revs in 2nd gear coming out and getting pretty close to the wall as I exit.

And the Paint on the ground is of a slippery nature as well, try going over it some time at pace, that corner should never have been approved

I reckon its a fantastic idea frosty!!

However, maybe limit the types of bottles? Danno if shampoo bottles would be the go?

Im thinking 1.5 and 2.25 Coke bottles, 1l and 2l milk bottles?

Maybe im thinking of a different type of shampoo bottle, but in my mind, im comparing it to say, a 600ml coke bottle. Quite hard and sharp?

Awesome idea Frosty.

I feel like a knob asking this, but: Must the bottles still be in original shape? It seems to me that the bag of bottles wouldn't be dense enough if that is the case? Or will they be crushed before putting them in to the bag anyway?

**The_Dover** · 5th December 2006, 15:52

fuck me frosty, we must have a couple of dozen myzone bottles a week going in our bin.

if they are usable then I'll start saving them.

**Squeak the Rat** · 5th December 2006, 16:33

I'm assuming you need unsquashed bottles. But do they need to be washed? If not I may be able to contribute a few, but won't be able to stockpile too long.....
