Blue bin update
I’ve just received an email from the Borough Council reporting on the progress of the introduction of the new blue bins. Yesterday the scheme had been in operation for nine days and already there has been an increase of 105% in dry recyclables in the blue bins and a 60% increase in the collection of garden waste. Quite impressive!
And they also point out that until Biffa take delivery of their new fleet of vehicles, paper and recyclables are being collected together. However they are separated at the depot.
Whilst this is positive news, I am receiving comments that suggest that there are many people who still are not too happy with the change. A lot of people seem to object to rinsing out tins, bottles, jars and plastic containers. I really don’t understand this. We’ve always done it - it is so easy and prevents any possible danger of smells. As far as I’m concerned, the new scheme is a great success. If you don’t agree, get in touch and let me have your comments.
