Recycling across the area

[Trojan]

You certainly have a point there. We used to set fire to ours, before smokeless areas were thought of, it both lowered the level and cleaned it !

There used to be an incinerator plant off Cwm Road, where household rubbish would be brought by wagons to be burned to produce.......electricity.  :votive: :votive: :votive:

Sound more sense than carting stuff all over the place--and much greener

The tall chimney did belch out smoke all over south Llandudno.

We have at last, after 4 phone calls been allotted our new system. WOW ! All those, bags, bins and bits, the men chuck the bin wherever it falls now, so goodness knows where the new lot will end up.------Watch this space !

[Fester]

The drive of my house is a shared access for about 6 other houses...
All of which need to leave their bins at the foot of my drive.

Up to now, its just been 6 bins once a week. (or once a fortnight)

But this morning, it looked like a mountain of disperate bins and bags all brimming over waiting to be collected.

After the various collection chappies had been, it was much worse, it looked like Hiroshima.

I am walking round-- book in hand with an armful of rubbish-  Doh!

Had the drains cleaned and the road swept---on the back lane this morning WOW can't get over it, shall have to have a lie down !

Recycling and Refuse Collections over Christmas and New Year http://bit.ly/ucEwAv

[Dave]

Very useful, thanks very much ! Dave

[Merddin Emrys]

We put the recycling box and bags out this morning along with two bricks to stop the wind blowing it away. When we arrived home we find the grey box and lid blown into next door's slate tip (recently landscaped front garden) the green plastic bag has been blown into oblivion and the two bricks are sat on the lawn with nothing but grass beneath them!!   

How hard can it be to put a brick on top of something to stop it blowing away? I've always said it was a stupid system having these bags, from now on they can stick it until the council gives us proper boxes to use!

 :rage:

I've now phoned the council and I asked if it was council policy to not use the bricks and the lady said something about different staff over Xmas and it was an oversite, I'll get a new one in the post.  To me what a waste of council money!

You can generally track the progress of the recycling lorry by the whirlwind of waste paper that gets blown down the road from it as the bins are emptied.

I hope you like the new brick these silly idiots will probably send!   

[Merddin Emrys]

 . Yes I did wonder what will arrive!

 Recycling was done on the cheap in Conwy.

Other Welsh councils do a far better job.

Things will improve with the new roleout of recycling later in the year. We have a new 3 stackable box system with access to each box when stacked. This will replace a lot of the various different bags and boxes we now have. Unfortunately this system will not be with us for a few months.

So what happened with the 'new' system?  when will it happen?  will  it happen?  are any councillors reading this??
