We have a container inside our recycle bin for newspapers. I have seen our bin men on more than one occasion when taking the recycle bin away, if there is room, just tip the newspapers into the rest of the recycle stuff, so what is the point?TitanTim wrote: ↑Mon Jan 29, 2024 10:36 pmBut that gets my goat though as I pay a fee for the privelage.
This was picked up on one of the my local community website group chats where someone had seen their neighbour bag their green waste up and put it in with normal household waste and it was duly collected by the bin men, no questions asked. The person then called the Council to question this and they said yes if you put green/garden waste in with household it will get taken away.
So the point of me paying a fee is?
I will contacting my local Borough Councillor to raise it with the Council as it's plainly a farce if no checking is carried out. The only checks that are carried out is with the Green Waste bins that are put out that the homeowner has paid the yearly subscription fee which is confirmed by a sticker on the bin.
Tim.
A lot of the stuff that's put into the recycle bin ends up being rejected and sent to landfill in some foreign country anyway.

Don't forget that they wave at the train driver going in the opposite direction, optional of course and depending if they are on overtime or notpvr wrote: ↑Wed Jan 31, 2024 3:32 pmAgreed. All that training as well, green button to go, red button to stop. But if you forget the red button, don't worry, we will stop it for you.

No mate, I'm a bit worried they might keep it and crush it.
All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

That seems to sum up how random recycling is in different places.Nanu wrote: ↑Wed Jan 31, 2024 8:48 pm We have a container inside our recycle bin for newspapers.

Where I lived before it all went in the same bin, paper, cans, plastic containers, foil, etc. but they wouldn't take glass so I had to take it to the Tesco containers when I was buying the replacements!
But where I live now even the glass goes in with everything else which is much easier.
Coupes because stunning!
