If some people really think this is too difficult or takes too long
then perhaps they should ask their local waste advisor to give them
some advice.

Actually no, it's not that this is difficult in the final analysis but
that it is unnecessarily overcomplicated and inconvenient for dubious
value.

Well - you couldn't actually do any meaningful separation and have it
any simpler !

Then one has to ask whether it is meaningful at all....




I have no idea who a "waste advisor" is. Is it yet another person
paid for from council tax with pie in the sky ideas about the rality of
what people require?

Well - as you say, you've got no idea.

Perhaps you would like to enlighten the assembled throng so that we can
all have a laugh.




I would be very pleased to have a conversation with such a person, but
it would be along a few simple lines:

1) How is he going to offer me a choice of disposal services?

2) How is he going to reduce the cost?

3) How is he going to deliver the above with less use of time on my part?

If he has good answers for all of the above, then there is a basis for
discussion. If he doesn't, then I will want to know who his boss is
and
who the budget holder is for his position because he isn't doing his
job properly and should be removed from the payroll..

Well - he certainly isn't doing what you want, but may well be doing
what he's employed to do.

By whom? Who is paying?
