Joined up government?
Oh, and I forgot to mention that next door burn everything on a very slow bonfire (small one can burn for 4 days). |
I know one authority which collects plastic bottles but not their lids - where's the logic in that?
It's amazing how attitudes vary around the country. When I was a lad there was a strict code: never on sunny days when people were out in the garden, hanging out washing or had windows open. On the other hand, in London you just didn't do it unless you wanted the fire brigade, police and man from the Council knocking on your door. But up here people light a fire whenever they have a bit of waste - commonly they throw on all their plastics creating huge toxic clouds .....
