Accip74 7,112 Posted November 5, 2016 Report Share Posted November 5, 2016 Bin bags for general waste in my area (have to use specific bag) cost 40 euros for 20! ......I've got right into the recycling now... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kay 3,709 Posted November 5, 2016 Report Share Posted November 5, 2016 yea and tyres are just made for throwing What gets me is I pay 125.00 a month poll tax.... the bin men only have to spot a dried leaf in the landfill bin & the jobsworth wont empty it, I stick the recycling in a plastic box in the kitchen & do my bit.... any dog shit off the yard goes in a bag in the green bin which isnt usually a great deal Since the power station shut they have lost the revenue from there.... so there no longer maintaining the islands or planting up to save money ... hence the charges at the tip My poll tax will go up next year as well ... i reccon 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kay 3,709 Posted November 5, 2016 Report Share Posted November 5, 2016 yea this is the thing the tax goes up yet we have to do more I dont mind doing the recycling... infact the green landfill bin stinks less now ... before we had the blue bins for recycling we had boxes ... it was a nightmare .. bloody dog had to me muzzled to stop him from scavenging out of boxes on bin morning when he was walked Also my ex husband was an alki & the cider bottles was embarrassing .. at least the lid coud be shut on the bin when we had them so no bugger could see the bottles 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WILF 46,875 Posted November 6, 2016 Report Share Posted November 6, 2016 (edited) If governments were serious about saving the planet they would ban building with masonry full stop.......they would do away with supermarkets and all the associated waste that gos with them and they would stop artificially supporting populations. Smoke cleaning technology has been widely available for years so why don't they use it on power stations and burn all the rubbish that people generate instead of burying it in the ground?

Same here mate, it's cheaper to do it.......none of this 1500 quid a year council tax nonsense.......just do it yourself and it costs hardly anything. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
walshie 2,804 Posted November 6, 2016 Report Share Posted November 6, 2016 The lazy b*****ds at the dump are the worst. They literally sit in their chairs watching what you're dumping, ready to take anything they fancy or shout at you for putting the wrong stuff in the wrong skip. We took a load of old plastic piping with brass compression fittings on to the dump a couple of weeks ago. Not enough brass to make it worth undoing every one, but the bloke down there was interested in it. He said "Those fittings will have to come off." As he was sitting there doing nothing, I assumed he was there to do things like that if he wanted the brass. I said "You'd better crack on then. i'm not doing it." His answer? "OK. Chuck it in the landfill then." Quote Link to post Share on other sites
