If you don't need to use it at all, don't use it all.

Jamie has control of three bins in the street, as they are holiday makers bins so we can use beyond our trash quota. What naughty people we are. But when we are doing projects, waste can be inevitable and a trip to the local tip costly. What inherent value is there in a waterlogged strip of MDF, a broken piece of plasterboard, a thin as fact torn shopping bag, a bag of dog poo left on the nature strip?

I think we may be fucked if we get to the point we don't have diesel to run the trucks. I've seen this in the UK before under austerity or strike or other circumstances when the bins are collected..it's a horror show. Perhaps we are only as good as our waste disposal.

As usual thoughtful, great writing.
