The switch to wheelie bins doesn't really have anything to do with recycling. Hounslow is part of the West London Waste Area which has invested heavily in new incineration facilities. In the next year or so nearly all black bin waste will be sent to an 'energy from waste' plant and incinerated. This will count towards recycling totals which will miraculously rise. Wheelie bins are probably being introduced because the waste collection company will charge less for collecting this way. |
