Re: recycle your teabags hyndburn
 

Why recycle tea bags its mad unless its the new horse manure. ;)

Re: recycle your teabags hyndburn
 

aye spugster, more earth friendly, and it doesnt stink ;)

Re: recycle your teabags hyndburn
 

What exactly would they do with them? I didnt think that the council was that skint that they cant afford even cheap teabags. :eek:

Re: recycle your teabags hyndburn
 

I haven't seen the story but all out tea bags go in the composter, is that what they mean?

Re: recycle your teabags hyndburn
 

Bloody heck i havent recycled teabags for short of a decade - things were bad back then, you can make 3 brews out of one teabag:p:D

Good job i dont drink tea anymore:D

Re: recycle your teabags hyndburn
 

So its coffe then that keeps you going. :p

So where does that who make filter coffe is that to be recycled/composted as well?

Re: recycle your teabags hyndburn
 

Yup:D

I dunno i use instant granuals.....not that posh stuff gee:D

Re: recycle your teabags hyndburn
 

The filter coffee can be recycled too, only use it for Drambuie coffee though and haven't had one of them in ages.

Re: recycle your teabags hyndburn
 

Never heard of that. Mind you they bag n tag it at the works canteen and give it to gardeners.

Re: recycle your teabags hyndburn
 

Yeah Spuggie you just stick it in your composter!:)

Re: recycle your teabags hyndburn
 

Aint got one or it and teabags would be there along with the veggie skins fruit skins and apple cores. :(

Re: recycle your teabags hyndburn
 

save up your used tea bags

you can sell the dried up tea leafes as genuine john lennon ashes on ebay and sew all the teabag outsides together and sell them to people at blackpool as string vests :D

Re: recycle your teabags hyndburn
 

stupid stupid boy

Re: recycle your teabags hyndburn
 

if i was that stupid i would be a councilor :)

Re: recycle your teabags hyndburn
 

I use good old fashioned tea leaves.

Re: recycle your teabags hyndburn
 

i drink coffee and what worries me is will i be fined £1000 for not recycling teabags regardless of if i use them or not and will i be financialy better off if i buy a small box each fortnight so that i have somthing to be put out to be recycled

sounds stupid but rememebr it is HBC we are dealing with here ;)

Re: recycle your teabags hyndburn
 

Re: recycle your teabags hyndburn
 

think this has more to do with him starting at the council offices and encouraging staff to take them home with thim....it was on itv local news and im trying my best to find a link...:confused:

Re: recycle your teabags hyndburn
 

What you have to realise teabags are the only constructive thing of any substance generated by Hyndburn Council and it's employees.;)

Re: recycle your teabags hyndburn
 

well i cant find a link so im gonna have to rely on you lot for a clip in the observer......

Re: recycle your teabags hyndburn
 

you think thats bad i spent 30 mins on the phone trying to convince HBC that my area was a garden area so i shoudl have a bin for my grass cuttings

despite every single house on my street having a back garden , front garden and in most cases a small side area of grass HBC seem to be under the belief that having 2 or more gardens makes you a non garden area

strange however that people in higher band areas of hyndburn like parts of osswaldtwistle that have smaller gardens are considered garden areas but ime sure its just coincidence that higher band areas get better service

if you have a garden you should get the services that are needed period , either all the people get the same service or no one gets the service

Re: recycle your teabags hyndburn
 

back to teabags

has anyone ever noticed that if you throw a used teabag out into the street in cold weather it looks like a steaming turd :)

Re: recycle your teabags hyndburn
 

Dog Muck

now here is a substance that could do with recycling, ideally into some king of fuel for my car :
There is enough on the streets to provide us all with FREE FUEL:

Re: recycle your teabags hyndburn
 

Well there is one link to the telegragh

http://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk...e_with_you.php

Re: recycle your teabags hyndburn
 

Well I actually think it's a good idea. All right, it sounds a bit extreme about the teabags but that's just the papers picking up on a trivial point and making it bigger than it is. Saving paper by writing on both sides is excellent, saving things like fruit and teabags for compost is also good.

Only thing I would have suggested to improve on it would be for the council to have provided compost bins in the offices and then do a reverse rubbish run once a month to some allotments - by arrangement of course.

Re: recycle your teabags hyndburn
 

wont be coming round 4 a brew on reused tea bags:eek:

Re: recycle your teabags hyndburn
 

ha ha pmsl:bow8: :ooh:

Re: recycle your teabags hyndburn
 

I am starting to get worried about you Gayle.
This is not the first time you have agreed with Peter on here recently.
I also read in the Observer that Brian Walmsley is due for re-election in May and has not yet decided if he will stand due to his recent health problems.

Is this just a coincidence or have you put all your red clothes in the recycling sack and filled your wardrobe with new blue ones instead? ;)

Re: recycle your teabags hyndburn
 

This is a good point that Peter makes in the Telegraph and I agree totally that they should show a good example. I have heard a few people on here comment about the contents of rubbish bins all going into landfill etc etc, maybe this will be the next thing they change.

Too many businesses do not recycle. Where I work we don't even recycle paper. We do separate scrap wood and metal but that is only because the waste collection company insist on it IIRC.

It may be daft Graham but why not suggest some other way of collecting them instead, maybe the Parks Dept could compost them.

Re: recycle your teabags hyndburn
 

Hehehe.... I watched this on Granada Reports last night. Yes, teabags can be used for composting but I agree with Neil that maybe they can have a collection area within the council offices and the used teabags be given to the parks dept. I do think it is ludicrous to take them home in your pocket.

The reporter went on to say that if there are 200 employees having 2 cups of tea per day, that is an awful lot of teabags. I find it hard to believe that these employees find time for 2 cups of tea per day whilst at work... they obviously don't work for the NHS maternity services then..:D :rolleyes:

Re: recycle your teabags hyndburn
 

Do none of them drink coffee? :rolleyes:

Maybe they should ban tea, glass coffee jars are easy to recycle.

Re: recycle your teabags hyndburn
 

They are spaced out enough without supping coffee. ;)

Re: recycle your teabags hyndburn
 

well i wouldnt fancy going home with my pocket/bag fill with fruit peelings / teabags etc... whats wrong with the council providing these bins ..after all it is thier idea...

Re: recycle your teabags hyndburn
 

if coucilors were locked up in stocks once a month and peopel allowed to throw rotten veg and peelings etc at them they could sweep up all the mess afterwards and take it away

sort of a collection point with incentive if you will

Re: recycle your teabags hyndburn
 

i tell you that PB:rolleyes: takes the biscuit..i bet he aint taking is bloody teabags home!

im sure he just likes the attention, hes always in the observer!
i remember when he was a teacher at moorend talked rubbish then:wacko8:

the best thing for the workers would be to use tealeafs!!:D

Re: recycle your teabags hyndburn
 

Hi Neil.

On the scale of things there are much bigger issues we should be looking at. It has been mentioned on here before, we don't recycle our trade waste colection which amounts to 8-9% of waste. There are many important things we don't do which I am sure Neil, you are aware of as I am.

None the less, it did raise awareness but unfortunately it has backfired into a joke piece about Accrington. (Granada Reports 'lets have a laugh section' at the end.) PB used the phrase "a storm in a Tea Bag". I think there is time for a laugh, I am not sure this was it.

Re: recycle your teabags hyndburn
 

hmmm a politician who can't spell

Re: recycle your teabags hyndburn
 

Re: recycle your teabags hyndburn
 

Your right it did. The idea was ok but maybe the approach was not.
I am all for recycling but I am not convinced that everything we recycle is actually for the good of the environment and not just so we can say we recycle xx% each month.

Re: recycle your teabags hyndburn
 

Will the stocks at Huncoat do for this Chav???

Re: recycle your teabags hyndburn
 

can,t believe hyndburn council on t-bag issue, where do they think the bags will end up when so called do gooders take them home.....in the bin, now that really makes sense (sarcasm) seeing has most of the staff will probably live in hyndburn, just another way of making them look good only backfired as usual aroma lady

Re: recycle your teabags hyndburn
 

diverting slightly soz, are the stocks still there?

Re: recycle your teabags hyndburn
 

yes they have railings around them to stop them getting nicked

Re: recycle your teabags hyndburn
 

they dont want nicking they want bloody using ...bring em back i say ...:D

Re: recycle your teabags hyndburn
 

aye, would be fun :D

Only problem is we'd get all the PC do-gooders wingeing about human rights.

Re: recycle your teabags hyndburn
 

funny how victims dont get human rights yetr as soon as you commit a crime you do

Re: recycle your teabags hyndburn
 

we should create a sub-human rights and apply that to the crims.

Re: recycle your teabags hyndburn
 

May 2008 (an error in the paper!) - it's not this year that Brian's up for election again.
