13 June (Part 2) - Recycling? Get in the bin!
I put my green bin out on Thursday evening
just before I left home for the Planning meeting. Same for my neighbour who is inclined to forget to do it.
His blue bin (paper) was full of plastic and in the past I would have sorted
things out for him, but I don’t much care about recycling since Bexley Council
fined me £70 for taking an old lady to the doctor’s and they disregarded her
disabled badge. Any inconvenience caused to me by recycling is a thing of the past.
Good will is easily lost and rarely regained.
So I left his blue bin as found fully expecting it to be rejected next morning.
But it wasn’t. Instead his green general waste bin was left unemptied. No idea why.
Bexley Council and logical thought are uneasy partners.
If past performance is any guide the green bin will stand in the street for a week and then
mysteriously disappear into a convenient fly tip,
Both his bin and mine were adorned with a new notice which I will ignore. I have
never put food in general waste because there is never anything significant left
over from meals. Peelings and the like go into a garden compost bin. Surely only
families with wasteful fussy eaters need a food waste bin? Foxes and pigeons are
useful allies occasionally.
