Re: Free grit for all!
As far as I am aware from discussions I had some months ago with the head of the Waste Department, staff need to be taken off other duties in order to collect 'clinical' waste from a relatively small number of residents. This waste has recently been reclassified and can now be disposed of harmlessly along with other household waste, hence it frees up members of HBC staff to work on other things and save both time and money.
There is no council conspiracy to deprive the minority of a vital service although that is not what some people would have you believe. Further answers to this will be given on Thursday night by people right at the heart of it but it's not the major scandal that it's being publicised as.
