I heard the recycling wagon this morning, coming from quite a distance, I thought all my neighbours had decided to clear out all their excess jars and glassware etc at the same time....................on the other hand................... +}}{--          ;)


PREPARATIONS are being made to open household recycling centres in Mochdre and Abergele.
Conwy County Borough Council said they would operate with an appointment system in place and ‘strict’ social distancing measures.

On Friday, May 8, First Minister Mark Drakeford said a series of small adjustments were being made to the lockdown regulations in Wales.

This included enabling local authorities to begin the process of planning how to safely reopen libraries and municipal recycling centres.
Cllr Greg Robbins, cabinet member for environment and transportation at the council, said: “We are working closely with Bryson Recycling, who run the sites for us, to make sure that staff and the public can be safe when we reopen.”

“So that we can make sure we protect people with social distancing measures, things will be somewhat different from normal and access to the sites will be by appointment only.
Anyone arriving without an appointment will be turned away.”

More information will be given on how to book an appointment once the opening date has been finalised.
It is hoped the date will be in late May.                 ref Pioneer

Went into my front lounge this morning and saw a huge lorry thing outside. There was an almighty crash as a chap threw a brown bin onto the pavement. He threw it over and attached a set of wheels to it. He then set off along the pavement with said bin. One minute later he returned complete with bin, heaved it onto the lorry and off they went !!!

I don't know how feasible this would be, but a great idea, or something similar, I also think the vendor has a responsibility to check the perimeter of their place of business.

Surely a bin full of grass cuttings would be rather heavy, but isn't that what the "garden waste" bin is for?

Binmen refused to empty our green plastics bin (part of the three green ones) the other day because it had a lot of "hard plastic" in it - I had broken up an old plastic stacking shelf unit that was cracked.  Yes, I know there are "thermoplastics" (the soft type such as plastic bottles), and "thermoset" which is the hard stuff ... but the bin is just labelled "plastic" with no other definition, and it was plastic that we put in ... we were told to put the hard stuff in a bin bag and into the normal waste bin.  They did leave the leaflet saying "not allowed" but with no indication of what or why, missus went chasing after them and got the explanation.

We have two brown bins for the Bowling Club and we cut the green twice a week, approx 1650 sq. meters. Both bins now full and very heavy, also getting quite hot, if they self combust they will just have to sweep up the ashes. ;D

We have all seen the effects of fly tipping, here's one for the good guys..............

Revenge is sweet: Fed-up farmer hit by fly-tippers 25 times in a year sets up CCTV to catch latest culprit who left 400 tyres on his land... then dumps them on HIS doorstep.

I noticed Llyn Geirionydd being misused in the 80s, now it is disgraceful...............

From human poo to broken tents - the disgusting mess Snowdonia daytrippers left behind
The area has become a 'dumping ground' according to furious locals

As well as the littering, parking was also an issue, with the road by Llyn Geirionydd blocked, leading to warnings from North Wales Police and the Welsh Ambulance Service about the potential for emergency service vehicles not to be able to get through.

I saw that article earlier today and understand that people want to go to beautiful places but for the life of me I just can't understand how a minority of tourists can behave like that and spoil the area that they have wanted to go to.
As for the amount of traffic up there at the moment, I haven't seen as many vehicles on that narrow lane alongside Llyn Geirionydd.   You lived in that area in the past Steve and have you ever seen it so busy?
It must be dreadful for people who live in the Geirionydd and Crafnant areas and have to contend with that congestion on a daily basis in the Summer months
We love that area but won't be going there until it gets back to normal

Living there was a privilege, and we understood it was not just for us, however the difficulty for us was trying to accept that the visitors did not seem to appreciate what was around them, nor did they respect it, and it gradually got worse, and in the late 90s we decided to leave, after spending 14year's there, and 6 of those restoring the farmhouse, ready for our retirement, sad outcome.
