I often hear a guy driving around in a van shouting "Any old scrap metal?"
Ours "inspect" the bin by peering into it. They just lift the lid and glance at the contents. They have to, as the morons in the council estates often put anything in any bin. If they can see a load of waste in the recycling bin, they don't collect it and put a big red sticker on the handle saying "wrong items".
It depends more on what you have in your garden, not how big it is. If you have flowerbeds, you use compost.
I'm lazy, I shove all the garden waste into the bin, then I go to the tip and collect the free compost that they provide back from rotting it for me. It also means I don't use up a lot of space with composting bins.
Ah, I didn't realise a boat was involved.
Why bother? Library would be messing with copy write laws if they just let you down load the book. The online books are treated as if they were a paper book and they only loan out so many copies at the same time. You might have to get on a waiting list if all the copies are on loan. People do steal books and give them away on the internet but you get them at your own risk as they are often virus laden. It is actually not your data even if on your device. I've heard there was an issue about this with music downloaded from Apple.
I like paper books and never buy new but go to a trading store where book trade may cost me $2 but the book is mine to keep. It might take me a week to a couple of months to read a book depending on time of year and what I'm doing.
You surely have more than one postal service? Where do the others leave stuff? I know you've got FedEx etc...
I can't believe throwing litter into people's gardens is allowed in the US, but not slotting them neatly into the mailbox. Seriously, your country really needs sorting out.
I know but just giving numbers here does not mean that everyone remembers them and what they refer to.
Fuck the copyright laws. All they have to do is make a feeble attempt to stop you. If you get around it, you've broken the silly law, not the library.
Now that is seriously deranged. Why can't they loan out more of them?
Er.... it's plain text. that's like saying you can have a virus in a jpeg.
That might be the way the law looks at it, but it's illogical. If it's in your hands in your house, it's yours.
Crazy. It's illegal to copy a book, but not illegal to read it, sell it on, read it, sell it on, etc, etc. Same end result - the publisher only sold it once and many folk read it.
I didn't expect anyone to. I was just pointing out that the severe restriction on what they could recycle has been lifted.
You better believe it. Besides I don't want people cramming junk into my mail box. Bad enough it is in the mail. My mailman was horrified when I told him I did not want junk mail and he could throw it in the creek below us. That is their main revenue source.
In my case, FedEx and UPS leave packages at the back door. We've got a table next to the back door (mainly for our convenience), and they'll place packages on it.

Why would you care if it's delivered by the mailman or by individuals? = The law is only increasing revenue for one company. It's not protectin= g you from anything.

Large ones, yes. Mine go in my shed. But I'm thinking of things like jiffy bags that can go in a mailbox.

Because mail I want is often mixed up with the junk. The junk is also delivered loose and stuff can fall out. I just got my mail and fixed the lever on my toilet that was delivered by US mail.
On topic for those that have had to fix toilets, the Toto handle on the side has a special ratcheting action and regular handles won't work.
I have neighbors out back where mail slot is 700 ft from the road. Neighbor down the road has a 0.4 mile walk to mail box. Mines maybe 125 ft walk. There is no key on my mailbox. My son a mile away lives in a townhouse but mailboxes are all grouped together and are keyed.
Please tell that to those breaking down our doors to live here. We have to build walls to keep them out.
The postal employee can throw them on the ground or actually file a complaint. Occasionally I will put my community association flyers in mail boxes but only after the mail man has been there and if I know the people will be likely to get it before the next day. Otherwise you stuff it in the door jamb.
Some people do.
That might not work here unless you speak Spanish. They do have a red sticker they put on things but that is just saying the "large item" truck will be along to get it. I have seen the horticulture truck refuse to take something that is too big or not bundled up properly but that pretty much has to be a whole tree trunk or a huge pile of sticks and limbs. I think they say it has to be less than 50-60 pounds and less than 5' long. There is an exception for palm fronds. They take them as is.
