Rather than fight such pathetic uselessness head on[1], I gave up and got
one of these:


Write to the local paper expressing disatisfaction with the council's
recycling policy.
If you can stand looking grumpy by a wheely bin long enough for them
to take a picture they'll put you in.

(email the letters page so it doesn't even cost you a stamp)


I could sign it "Disgusted, formerly of Tunbridge Wells" ;-

Works for me. You'll be surprised how many times you can get
published... My local free paper gives vouchers for a local pub for
letter of the week. Well worth an email!


In theory I have the bin inspector coming round sometime to see if I qualify
for a 240l bin and to see if I have recycled everything that's possible to
do so round here (and taking soggy cardboard to a dump 3 miles away isn't
an option in my book).

No and it shouldn't be a huge issue for them to pull their finger out
and recycle more.
