Lorne and I are deciding on pics from 2021 to put together for a 2022 calendar and I came across this eclectic collection, taken at Pender Island's recycling depot while on holiday last July.
For 120 pictures in 2020 #111 "Upcycled", This garden ornament is made from recycled scrap metal. It is fairly old and in desperate need of repainting, but it still stands ready to remove garden pests from our plants (this is an aloe vera our neighbor gave us - still need to make a proper garden plot for it).
Well in this instance , recycling !! Shot taken for Saturday Self Challenge 04/01/25 -- Seasonal !!
So here we are with a random shot of a recycling bin left out for the dustman after the Christmas festivities and obviously a seasonal bi-product is the amount of rubbish and recycling that is generated by many - next week it will be proper rubbish to be collected and I wonder how full to overflowing the black bins will be . I am glad to say as a rule my green bin is usually full but not overflowing and the black bin is usually no more than two thirds full or less . I did note this year that most folk left their bins out on the usual day only for it not to be collected !! There is always an alteration to collection times this time of the year so that the bin men get time off for the bank holidays !!
So for our music this week , it has to be a track from an album called " Recycler " !
First the electric version , then the wooden version from the film and then ZZ Top talking about playing on the film !!

These CD's I have recycled from the library when they were cleared out last year. Now they are adorning my Nashi Pear tree trying to deter the parrots from eating the almost ripe fruit. As they blow in the wind and reflect the sun at odd times perhaps the movement is scary.
This is an interesting case of recycling the Venetian way.
At one point there was a palazzo with quite a grand exterior staircase up from the small entrance courtyard. All that remains now is the staircase and the front of the palazzo on the first floor at the top of the stairs. The rest has disappeared except the central floor of the palazzo at the top of the stairs. Apartments have been reconfigured out of the other spaces on either side of what would have been this portego, the reception hall.
So I was out running errands and spotted this! If I was a true recycler, I would have scooped it up to reuse- right?
For the MM theme of arrow for 5/27 (Memorial Day)….. I think I’m going with this SOOC shot just because it’s simple and blue and sparkly and advocates recycling.
Size verification - (later) the whole thing including the blue background is approximately 1.8cm… see the first comment box in a little bit
….💙⬆️ HMM ⬆️💙
Btb, I am sorely tempted to lighten this up but that takes it out of the SOOC realm!
Back in the mid 80's I painstakingly knitted this for my eldest son. It became his favourite cardy, now it is being passed down to his son. It's a little big for him at the moment but he doesn't t seem to care & is as thrilled with it, as his dad was way back when!

Not great ideas for Smiling on Saturday, just a modest pot-holder made by me recycling an old shirt of my husband, an easy work thanks to the chequered design ;-)

This is one of several throw pillows that i made using old t-shirts. I made them a few years ago, as Chrisrmas gifts for relatives. This is the only one that i saved.
Shared for Smile on Saturday theme: Recycled.
Recycling is really developed in Germany, almost every type of bottle and container can be recycled and there is a very good system for doing so. Here is a view into a recycling machine which recycles cola, beer and milk bottles and credits back the Pfand (or deposit) to the consumer. You slide the bottle on the conveyor belt, then the belt catches the bottle and spins it while a blue laser light (which is on in this picture) flashes and reads the UPC code. That way it knows the proper amount of the Pfand and also the brand name of the soda or beer the bottle belongs to. Then the bottle slides further along the belt where it is sorted and at the end, the consumer is given a voucher for all the deposits which they can then trade in for cash.
If it can’t be reduced, reused, repaired, rebuilt,
refurbished, refinished, resold, recycled, or composted,
then it should be restricted, redesigned or removed from production.

Happy Bench Monday...
on average 8 million tones of plastic finds it's way into the ocean each year and it never goes away, it breaks down eventually, but even then the pellets that it becomes is in turn eaten by the marine life. We need to do more than recycle, we need to stop using plastic containers and being a throw away society.
Give it some thought, don't put your lunch in a baggie, put it in a glass container. Bring a thermos of water, not a bottle, and buy beer in bottles, not cans.... :-) (due to the plastic thingy that binds them)
dashing to work now, blow it up and check out the beautiful and awful mural.
