| Unfortunately i cant make evening meetings in Ealing because i am pregnant and i have a toddler at home to babysit. But i am furious that this is still ongoing. Not only am i being asked by the council to continue to pointlessly sort my rubbish but they have removed the garden rubbish collection service, meaning the lovely leafy area i live in will spend the nect 5 years getting rid of all their nice gardens and paving them over, popping a couple of dead pot plants out the front. Thanks alot Ealing Council, i think your policies are rubbish. As fir recycling, i actually dont get how some of you manage to do this so quickly. I rent an upstairs flat so have nowhere outside to store the rubbish without upsetting my downstairs neighbours by covering the frint with runbish so it lives in my flat for the week. I wash and separate all the pastics every day to make them hygenic, separating the film from the heaevier pladtic trays as they cant be recycled together and need to be pulled apart. I pull off the selloptabe and breakdown all cardboard, we pull off the window envelopes from those annoying (should be banned) window envelopes, shred all the junk mail and named/addressed items, this causes dust so can only be done once a week when my son who has a dust allergy is otherwise occupied. Do others not do this? If not, why not because in everything i have read recycling is worthless if it is inclean, not separated or polluted, e.g. Window envelopes that are mixed paper andplastic. All that effort feels like a waste of time at the moment. I used to bag up fabrics but the men dont seem to take them anymore, despite large labels saying fabric for recycling. |
