Improvements to your recycling service...
Discussion
Just received a flyer from the council with the heading; "Improvements to your recycling service..."
What it is, is a notification to say that I will have to pay to have garden waste taken away, which until now has been done for 'free'.
Beter still, it says "less than £3 per month" but when I go to the website it tells me that it's £4.85 per month plus a one-off fee of £14.40, so £72.60 for the year - and I don't even cut my grass for 4 months of the piggin' year.
How the fook is that an improvement? What sort of pencil-necked, politically-correct, new-speaking, lentil-eating, health-and-safety, lycra-clad, inclusive, working-with-you, train-spotting twunt thought that one up?

Mr Cameron's constituents are ok.
We get FREE recycling of 'green' waste every fortnight even in the winter months! How mad is that?
If your normal bin is overloaded, it's emptied.
If the recyclers accidentally miss you, give them a call and it's collected within 48hrs.
We even have a 8-floor multi-story car park and ...yep, it's free!
It's called 'looking after your own'.
perhaps I should have added 'and sod the rest of you!'
What a country.

Up until a few years ago, our council didn't collect garden waste.
Then the recycling craze came and they gave all households a green wheelie bin just for garden waste.
So although they were now carting away twice as much rubbish, they had instantly achieved a 50% recycling rate.
I can't understand why your lot have given up on that.

Funny, where I live we don't have free council car parks but we do get all of the other things, even the overloaded bin so long as you don't make a habit of it and or take the Pee.We get FREE recycling of 'green' waste every fortnight even in the winter months! How mad is that?

Not sure if CMD has ever been to our part of the World, but I know Gordon popped over.
Having had a look at all of this I do find it amusing that the Conservative and no majority councils are a lot better at this sort of thing than the labour and LibDem lead ones. You would almost wonder if it were being flucked up for political mileage...

The demise of recycling credits and fiscal assistance towards running the service.Then the recycling craze came and they gave all households a green wheelie bin just for garden waste.

Added to the fact that there are a lot of mouth breathers who can't get the hang of having to put different types of rubbish different bins.
