Green team: Richard, Rachelle and Verona Strauss at their home in Langhope, Gloucestershire, with the only bin they have filled in 2009. They make use of all their leftovers so crisp bags and cellophane wrappers ar about the only things that they throw away
The dustbin is so crammed with rubbish it’s in danger of overflowing.
There’s a mess of brightly coloured plastic at the top, some unidentifiable trash sticking out either side, and so much garbage in the bottom that it’s getting difficult to keep the lid on without squashing it all down.
But this battered old bin is the Strauss family’s pride and joy.
