15 June (Part 2) - CountryStyle wakes up
I’ve
lost count of the number of times I have moaned about the uncollected bins that are just a short distance from my house but
the last time was on Monday.
Depending on one’s point of view, the contamination from which they suffer
is caused by multi-culturism or CountryStyle’s inability to tackle the problem.
I am affected because the bins stink and the rubbish blows into my garden.
However this morning two men turned up in one truck and tipped the contents
of all three bins (paper, glass, plastic and tins) into it so thanks are due to them. They even locked
the two bins that have a lock but unfortunately replaced them in a different
order from what has been traditional. I fear the illiterate are thus
encouraged to put stuff in the wrong bin. The paper bin will attract small
domestic appliances and building materials as it always does; without an
effective lid abuse is all too easy.
I was a little sad to see everything tipped into the one truck. All that
effort stripping brown tape from parcels, washing everything that is not
spotless, peeling paper labels from tin cans and separating coffee jars into
the three component parts of glass, plastic lid and circular cardboard
insert was for nothing. All gone to landfill.
And the bins still stink.
