Don't hold your breath Willow, it might be a long time coming. The main problem is the way they make us seperate and collect our rubbish in all those bags and boxes that allow rubbish to blow everywhere. I thought one of the main ideas of wheelie bins was to stop rubbish escaping onto the streets. HBC have used them as a way of limiting non recyclables and forcing us to recycle. They quote a high percentage of waste that can be recycled so, only a small percentage should be going into the wheelie bin. The rest is spread across the footpath waiting to be blown away.
Come on Peter pull your finger out and look how they do it in the Ribble Valley. They have 3 small wheelie bins collected every week. 1 for recyclables, 1 for non recyclables and 1 for green garden waste. They is no litter where my parents live because there is nothing to blow away.
