Councils are always worried about doing anything which may lose them votes. Of course they will probably have been lobbied by a percentage of residents to provide them. This isn't democratic either. They could have had a consultation on whether to make recycling mandatory or to charge for residual waste by weight or whether to have wheelie bins at all. They presumably chose not to because they might not have got the result that they required. Unfortunately the big problem for all concerned is that the wheelie bins don't actually do the sorting - although I am sure that that is what some people have been busy convincing themselves and other people happens. |
