10 years ago when I moved into my house a single bin truck
collected all the weekly waste in the area by coming along on a Tuesday
morning.
Then it was opened for competition and we got 3 operators
equalling 3 bin-trucks a week. Next step
was a green bin for recyclable waste, so now each company needed to send 2
bin-trucks a week and since with competition prices now had doubled, more got
in on the act. We then had 10 bin Lorries
every second week (green (bin) week) and 5 every other week. Next step I hear is another brown bin to be
emptied every second week.
So after all this recycling for a greener world is done, we
will now be visited by 10 bin-trucks every week: 4 on Mondays, 2 on Tuesdays, 2 on Thursdays
and 2 on Fridays, unless it’s a Bank Holiday when we will have 4 on Saturdays
also. And this single ended lane only
has 22 houses on it
Going from 1 to 10 trucks every week. Is that the way to save the planet?
