Fun with rubbish, boxes, elephant snot, toilet paper and junkies (some random pictures)

Having put together all of the Ikea furniture, we were left with a massive stack of boxes, that Kristine eventually found a recycling center for.

Sweden handles their rubbish collection slightly differently to Australia - well majorly differently actually.

We have three outside bins - green waste (grass cuttings, leaves etc), food scraps and general household rubbish.  Anything recyclable needs to be taken to a recycling depot and needs to be pre-sorted.  So inside we have a separate bin for clear glass, coloured glass, paper, plastic, metal and cans/bottles.  When the boxes fill we need to take them to a local recycling depot.  Most petrol stations have small skips for this stuff, but there are also bigger centres where large amounts of waste can be dumped for free as long as it is sorted and from private citizens and not businesses.

Before the boxes made the trip to Bunkeflostrand Recycling Centre, the kids had a lot of fun making a box fort and dancing on the cardboard:

You can't enter our fort!

To continue the selection of random photos, we found this in a cheap shop:

Elefant Snot - sticky fix.  Blue-tak like adhesive.

and my favorite toilet paper - nothing like wiping your bottom on a sheep:

LAMBI!

And this store from Copenhagen - apparently they sell clothes, but I'm not sure about that:

Just Junkies!
