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....

Yes - though it might not be a bad idea to listen to the reply !


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.

Perhaps you should when you've found out what the services cost and what
the departments actually do ?

To criticise them without taking the trouble to learn the basics seems
pretty **** poor IMV.


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?

We all pay, but that doesn't mean you proposal would do the job better,
nor necessarily even cheaper.


Cheers, J/.
