So, how do people cope?

Here we have the recycle box scheme, collections fortnightly.
It is a very labour intensive operation using a special lorry with
compartments for each type of material. The operatives have to sort the
materials into various bins on the lorry with a terrific racket of breaking
glass, clattering tins and boxes being thrown about.


Its noisy alright especially when the green
plastic container is chucked back into the
front from across the road.






When the scheme started I put my stuff in the box but they didn't empty it.
Apparently the contents (clean) did not exactly fit their criteria. So now
I don't put anything out as there is a recyling centre at the main
supermarket and I just take it with me when I go there.

The local council is of a different colour to the government and much of
their effort is spent in political point scoring. The recyling scheme
selected
was probably chosen to provide the maximum political return.
