Yesterday evening, I needed to put the trash outside. It was getting smelly. It is quite a job since our wastes have to be selected and put apart. Hum...glass must be brought outside next street, in the green container;paper, plastic and tins in the yellow container (after thorough cleaning), fruits, veggies, oily stuff and non recyclables in the grey container. Bulbs in the big box at the top of the shelf, batteries in the box hidden in the shoe storage, I must remember to bring the old broken oven to the public landfill. I am lucky waste water just goes down the drain. I must not forget to keep the bottle plastic tops for the money gathering for sick refugees, and the wine bottle corks for school....

These are tough times for House Elves. Very hard to remember all this without making mistakes.
