The ones I could get free from work are all yellow and of normal size.
I can also get red rubber bands...

I have some about 500mm long ones which I picked up at a country market in
Masham. Just like the small ones but longer, thicker, wider and with a
better stronger locking device. They stay in the car. I only carry a
few six inch long ones and a few 2 inch long ones at all times.

throwing them away on the ground.

We have been warned about dropping our bands in the street.
Unfortunately a good many posties are bone idle as well as ignorant.

So they will drop them outside my door :-(

A few prosecutions should cure that idleness.

Yes I know. That's why I mentioned it. I hope Phil knows me well
enough not to take it personally though, 'cos it wasn't meant to be
personal.

I have plenty of those, dropped on my path by the postman, probably
because I'm the last house in the road....

Yes that's it. If you get bands on your drive it usually means you are
at the top of a new bundle. If you get one just outside your door it
means your postie has dropped one as he took it off your personal
bundle they probably meant to put it in their pocket but it can be
remarkably hard to let go of a rubber band if wearing gloves. If you
get grey mailbags in your hedge it means you are at the end of the
round.
