Green bag recycling
The new green bag recycling scheme looks to be having a few teething problems. There have clearly been problems over getting the collection days right and the quantities being offered for recycling are much larger than expected.
The big increase in volume is welcome in one way, but it will probably reduce as I am sure residents have been saving waste for this new service since mid March.
A handy hint to help the collectors is to put all your plastic together in a (plastic) carrier bag as this makes it much easier for them to sort, although we are being asked to ensure that metal caps are separated out.
Another problem that a resident shared with me yesterday was with the collectors leaving remnants in the street when they leave. I am asking the council to look into this and hopefully things will be OK when the service settles down.
have your say
