Preston council recycling team didnt take my cans or bottles last week and i rang them she said leave it out and they will collect it in a few days i dont know exactly when!!

I left it out a week and then i rang back the woman on the phone said oh i am sorry they have been sent to the wrong address they went to Cooper street and that sounds nothing like the place where i live in fact mines a road not a street! she said leave it out and they will come for it. LOL

Its still there now and they collect again on Tuesday!!

Well im still waiting for my replacement green bin after both grey & green got nicked bonfire night 2004, i have crime no, it took me 6 months to get the grey one replaced & the green one well i was promised over a month ago it'll be here in 4 weeks with the extra box & lids - well a load of tosh i was told as having to borrow green bin off the lovely neighbour

[accymel]

Well im sticking to original rules of recycling my tinnys are staying in the box - not the blue bag, reason i fill my bag with plastic bottles right up & the box doesn't get full, so i put my cardboard, tins & glasses in the box least then its filled & not comprimising my blue bag!!!

See thats sence

Would some kind soul explain in simple language that any idiot could understand, particularly councillors, what part of the council tax is for if not for removing domestic rubbish?

I said about that months ago on here, Some councils already have the equipment and use it in competitions between estates to get them to recycle more. The winner gets more estate play equipment or more funding for the youth club to help keep kids off the streets, or community centre. they do of dourse eventually intend to charge by weight for no recycled waste. I'm sure it will come to accy sooner than you'd all like, but thats life. The tips are full and there's no where to put it. councils are now being charged a riduculas sum per tun to get rid of your rubbish.


As for the textiles, those that can't be used as clothes get recycled as rags for garages, shoes I'm not sure about, rindy's handbags get cut up and sewn in to pvc dresses for lap dancers in blackpool.

It was reported in the press that some re-cycled UK refuse is shipped to China and dumped in land fill sites because it's more economical.

That's scandalous.

.

then perhaps councils shouldnt sell their tips, councils arnt run by very bright people are they

sell tips - spend the money they made to pay to tip at the tip they sold and our own tip is getting filled by rubbish from manchester and liverpool bin waggons

sell off all their houses - end up paying £80 a week rent for a house they once owned and only had to pay around £50 a week for ( not considering they sold teh house at a huge undermarket value)

yes most of teh houses have now been sold to a housing assosiation that will still charge low rents but i am refering to the houses sold on teh right to buy which people then rent out at around £80

Our housing ass houses are 65-70 at least, a 1 bed council flat is 52.

if you ever see the condition of SOME of hyndburn homes houses you will understand why the rent is cheaper

[Madhatter]

I've the condition of a private rented one in rawtenstalls rosevale street and it needed a lot of work doing to it, the occupant managed to make it look nice though.
