The politically correct local authorities are slowly turning the
British population into mass rubbish sorters.....
sort out the bottles... sort out the tins.... sort out the paper
sort out the plastic ... sort out the food waste ....
its getting gross.
I think of those huge rubbish tips in Brazil where whole armies of the poor
spend their lives rooting thru the rubbish... sorting out the tins... sorting out
the clothing.... etc
We re being forced to do the same in reverse

It has become a problem as we do not see street sweepers anymore and the street looks like a tip and it makes it look like the residents are making this mess.
How hard is it to put one lot of stuff in one bin, and another lot of stuff in a different bin? Do people's brains get addled if they're confronted by more than one bin?
"Oh no! Which one do I open? How am I supposed to tell them apart?"
Yeah we have indoor bins for recycled, food and waste, Also a red bag for cardboard. We manage not to have to sort through as we do not mix it.
Please, won't someone think of the children!!!!!!!!!!!!111!11!!!!!!!!!
Btw do you also do the Lambada while sorting it out?
If you're determined to be a good little womble it means you've got to pull the box to bits so you can put the cardboard in the paper bin and put the cellophane panel in the plastic bin.
Isn't it about time manufacturers got with the recycling program and stopped making awkward bits of packaging?
I was shamed into starting to do it through work.
I swear this is true; once upon a time I tossed a Starbucks cup into the paper bin with the plastic top still on it and there was a collective gasp of disbelief from everybody else in the office.
Once a fortnight they come around and collect all of the bins, throw it all into the back of a rubbish lorry and then drive off leaving the bins and half of the rubbish spread across the pavement and road.
Oh poor you with your real first world problems. Jeeeeez are you really not able to manage that simple task as you go along each day? When you throw something out just choose the right bin. FFS don't try rocket science.
First world problems.
It does occur to me, if we just want to dispose of stuff, couldn't we chuck it all into a volcano or something?
One assumes, of course, that the benefit of recycling is also that it reduces the effort required to manufacture new stuff. Hence the phrase "recycling".
Well done you, that'll teach em!! >:(
You obviously don't realise(or just don't care) that those that take your rubbish are not the ones who have to deal with it when it gets to the recycling plant and what effect your actions have on the day to day running of that plant.
That is the same here. Where I use to live if they dropped anything they would get a dustpan and brush out and pick it up.
I have since moved and they must be the most lazy collectors. They drop stuff everywhere. If they drop a glass bottle it is left there >:( They drag our garden recycle bags so they end up with holes in so you have to buy more >:(
Even tho we have to have the bags and bins in the correct place they leave them in the road where they get blown into the moving traffic or someone nicks it.
I know! It's so easy to do it as you go along. Paper/plastic/tin cans go in a tub we keep under the kitchen bench, which we then empty into the recyclables wheelie bin.
Glass bottles & jars get taken to the bottle bank.
Everything else goes in the pedal bin.
It's not exactly difficult to do, is it?

Sorted, no sorting.
