pmsl thx for the advice which i will now go and do i ll just rip there sticker off lolslinky said:You have to pay for another. My moto if someone took yours go and take someone elses lmao.
on my wheely bin it says its the property of the council, so how can i be responsible for it? any one can just walk off with it.rockrabbit said:
It's ludicrous that you have to pay for another. They expect you to leave the things outside so that they can be emptied and not everyone is at home to bring them in immediately they are empty so if someone walks off with it how are you supposed to be able to prevent that? Someone somewhere will be filling two bins with rubbish whilst the council refuses to take yours because it's not in a wheelie bin!
Hmm maybe it's a ploy, nick em and then sell em back to us!
Way back in the 60s some friends of ours had a farm up on the Coppice. Very recognisable, you'll probably know the one.
At one time they bought some gravel to cover the farmyard etc (better than walking on mud, helps with the drinage and all that) and then we had a very severe storm, and I mean very.
The rain pelted down and rivers flowed from the Coppice down Avenue Parade, Water Street, Sultan Street, Lodge Street, etc. bringing all the gravel with them.
It finally lodged itself outside the Town Hall from where the council out of the goodness of its heart gathered it all up and sold it back to them!

Yep, just the same, bar code readers, same as the ones used in asda or any other store, I can understand them using a reader when delivering the wheelies to log which wheelie goes where, but I'cant understand them as standard issue to the actual troops on the ground, or refuse collectors(please correct me if there is a more upmarket phrase, cause I would not want to offend anyone), think they may finish up inside the crusher.THOTH said:
They scan barcodes on the blue tubs to see if your household is participating in the recycling scheme.You get points for recycling your rubbish and can pledge the points to a local school,the kids at the participating schools sign you up and your rubbish earns the points. Peel Park are currently way ahead on 16123 points whilst Mount Pleasant are 2nd on 9560.The schools involved have allegedly earned enough points for £20,000 of equipment.
Scarily,really big schools like Moorhead [2337] and Rhyddings [2208] don't seem to have grasped the point of the scheme.
I think it's a great achievement for the kids at Peel Park to be so far ahead and winning the equipment for their school. {Although in an ideal world they wouldn't need to do this as it would all be govt. funded!}

The problem Moorhead etc have is that younger siblings have already got their parents/neighbours/aunts and uncles to pledge for the junior schools and of course they can't pledge for more than one school.
I've got a barcode sticker on my wheelie bin. Do you mean they are also embedded in the material? I thought it was just on the sticker. A theif could easily rip the stickers off.

Tomorrow is recycle day for us so I'll be peeping out from behind my curtains.
