Paper and Bottle Banks

[therealjr]

Grass cutting on highway verges is also  technically a DCC function but it makes sense for districts to do this at the same time as their own land.

Please tell me you're not trying to claim that as a recent innovation?

@ Dave --- on a hot sunny day --- mines a carlesberg special brew!

I'll have half 

Back on topic, one of the taxi drivers in town had a couple of cardboard boxes of glass bottles in his boot the other day.
Apparently he'd been on the look out for a bottle bank. I asked why he didn't put them in his blue bin.
He said he didn't use it 
I said you will be from now on 

[Big Dave]

Bet there's going to be some very full blue bins after this hot weather!

[Fly]

Ours is always full 

[Big Dave]

Ours is always full 

Ours is getting that way this evening - hic!

The answer is, read on line and get a Kindle (PS got about 85,000 books that are able to be read on Kindle, but if the Copyright people see this I didn't say it )

Isn't there a recycling center behind the Healthy Living Center in Stavely. I don't know if they are bottle banks, paper, clothes or whatever, but I drive past them often.

They've all gone too

I read a claim recently that the issue with the new blue bins is that they were originally conceived to be the other way round ie paper in the main bin and bottles/cans in the black tub. When the contract was finalised however someone switched them!
Slacker can you shed any light?

>> anaerobic digester

I had mine removed when I was a child...

Sorry 

Is that why you burp so much?  Yp

[Gerty Gumdrop]

I wish my hubby would have his removed as well --- I know just where he is around the house --- I can HEAR him!!!

I never throw my books out.  If they are (at times) a certain degree of smut and filth then I have a long waiting list of other ladies just waiting to recycle them  Yp

Glass has been considered for top box, key thing is keeping it apart from paper and cardboard. Main disadvantage is it's more dangerous than cardboard if bin falls over.

Sorry am I understanding you correctly?
The council had a tender for the supply and emptying of a large recycling bin.
The tender was for a large bin for cardboard with a smaller insert for bottles cans etc
At some point during the process the decision was taken by somebody that it was safer for the glass etc to be in the main part of the bin and the cardboard in the insert.
This was how the contract was let.
Am I right?
And if I am who was the 'somebody'?
