In the US last year, Mom's Organic Market founder and CEO Scott Nash did something many are afraid to do: He ate a cup of yoghurt months after its expiration date. And then tortillas a year past their expiration date.

"I mean, I ate heavy cream I think 10 weeks past date," says Nash, "and then meat sometimes a good month past its date. It didn't smell bad. Rinse it off, good to go."

We go out to the recycle centre regularly where we recycle all glass, metal, and plastic. All lights get taken apart into bits so we can recycle as much as possible and send less to waste. We also take out and recycle your old heat pumps and bathroom heaters etc. For a little extra time and effort its worth it to be as eco friendly a business as we can and Pip loves getting a treat of a dog biscuit by the eco centres friendly staff. If you are committed to recycling and need any Electrical work done give us a shout for a quote. Sorry Pip doesn't join Patrick on home visits.
