Garinda started a post about a year ago on similar lines, whatever rubbish the council generates itself goes to land fill because no 'commercial waste', is recycled. The 'Obbo' even stole his idea and published it.

:rolleyes:

Here it is.

Though it was recently reported in the press that HBC buldings and offices are recycling their waste.

How?

Do they take it home?

If so they are breaking their own rules, as they threaten other businesses that do this with fines.

Hypocrisy from our council?

Surely not.

Re: council recycling
 

No, I alerted them to the issue, though I didn't expect them to publish my name and address.

Still, at least people didn't have to suffer seeing a photograph of me pointing at a teabag, on a tip.:D

Re: council recycling
 

Instead of paying the council for trade waste stickers,why doesn't someone obtain a small baling machine and collect it free bale it and sell it, as it is nearly all waste paper and cardboard.

Re: council recycling
 

You are getting excited again. I thought you said they were taking teabags home to compost. If they compost them they don't throw them away so are not breaking any rules.
Your reporting is very similar to the Observer. Have you started working for them? :p:rolleyes::D

Re: council recycling
 

I saw on TV a while back about what they do with everything we throw out, theres a lot of people.. They actually do seperate each little thing. lol.

... They did on TV anyway....... lol

Hello.

Your little mate Britcliffe was boasting in the press recently about how HBC had reached their self imposed recycling targets....not just for teabags.

How are they doing this, when no other business in Hyndburn has a lawful means to recycle, and those that do are still threatend with fines if they try?

Perhaps you could ask your master, the next time he's taking you for a walk.:D

I may be guilty of the odd spelling mistake, but there's no factual mistakes in my reports.;)

Re: council recycling
 

Of course they have. Companies have been recycling paper and separating waste for years. I have not worked for a company yet that did not separate paper, metal etc. It is not the responsibility of the Council but that of the Company to ensure it's waste is correctly handled. Yes some firms may pay for HBC trade collections. Many other businesses use companies such as Biffa, Smurfit etc etc to collect their waste.

I used Shirleys of Blackburn for ordinary paper waste and cardboard- the confidential waste paper was collected seperately for shredding at a government facility
(when I looked after such things for Melbourne House)
