There's a specific recycling place I take my crushed cans. I have a can crusher on my pantry door and I put the cans in the boxes they originally came in before I drank them. When the boxes are full I store them underneath my computer desk, there's plenty of room there because it's a corner desk.

When I fill up the space with boxes of crushed cans, I put them in the boot of my car and make the trip to the recycling place about 10 minutes away. At first I thought they didn't take crushed cans but someone at work told me they did. So I go there and two or three people there count my cans. The place always smells strongly of beer. Each can is worth 10 cents and I take a lot of cans there so usually I make over $70.

I also take a large white bag (the recycling centre sold me 3 bags for $5) of plastic bottles and one bag of glass bottles. They take up a bit of room.

I always get the money in cash and sometimes that's handy.

Not great

^She's hilarious, I first saw her on Facebook.  Kayleigh has often wondered what I'm laughing at when I'm watching Sarah Millican. Good find.

^I've not heard of a self serve kiosk to pay bills before. We don't have them here. 

I pay online through my bank. They give me a security number via my phone to plug in, finalising the payment.  I have until 23rd June to pay it.

It's state and county run and it's only for your car license plate registration renewal.
But I was out of there in threee minutes, seriously.

It used to be that we had to go to the licencing centre or the post office to pay vehicle registration (or rego as we call it in Oz). Then we'd get a sticker to be applied to the bottom corner of the windscreen with the number of the month it was due again. I liked that method. The stickers have been phased out years ago though, so now I pay online using my phone.

I got my PIN for my credit card today. Going by the look of the envelope, I thought it was a fine of some sort or a bill. Phew.
