Sorting waste should be done by your council.


Thus spake the late Andy Hall who proposed billing the council for his
time, which he hinted would have been extremely costly because he was
such a VIP.
The idea of jumbling everything up and having some poor sod go through
it because you can't be bothered is positively anti-social



The idea of sorting it all out and then having the council ship it off to a
landfill dump in a third world country is also antisocial.

Apologies for the source (and DEFRA apparently deny what the DM are claiming)
but similar stories have been covered by a few other news outlets over recent
years.
