When Will This Silliness Stop?

although only a trial, this could be coming to all UK residents, the 10 bins supplied by Telford and Wrekin Council who are amongst the most stringent seen so far when it comes to recycling, could be coming to you if the scheme is pronounced a success, worse still the fines that are sometimes enforced by bin police who can impose £100 on-the-spot fines for breaches such as overfilled wheelie bins, extra rubbish left out, or bins put out at the wrong time will also be enforced, Veronica Bould, pictured above has a large back garden which is a good job, She and her husband Brian, from Church Aston, Shropshire, also have a second green wheelie bin which they requested to help them keep the back garden tidy,

so here is the lesson for today, you must use a traditional grey wheelie bin for household waste and a green bin for garden waste with a black box for mixed glass, tins, aerosols and tin foil, a blue bag for cardboard and a blue box for paper and magazines, kitchen slop bucket is supposed to be emptied into a larger outdoor green bin; plastic bottles must be placed in an orange drawstring bag; while old batteries and energy-efficient light bulbs must be separated into small, identical, clear polythene bags also supplied by the council, what pleasure the tree huggers must be getting from all of this! I would not mind but I have yet to see any official figures that show in the UK that recycling actually works when the cost of the recycling plants, the land purchased for them to be on, wages, transport and council taxes are taken into account.
