New Recycling Trolley

Will this mean a fortnightly collection of recycling instead of weekly ? Also corrugated cardboard goes in the green garden waste bin at the moment, will this still be allowed?
Corrugated can go in the green ‘garden waste’ bin or the blue bag. So you can get rid of it either way.
We got told off for putting corrugated cardboard in the paper bag by the bin police. We always put it in the green bin. Don’t want the wroth of the recycle fairy to fall upon us again!
When will they introduce more kerbside recycling? Surly that would be better than just changing the method of collection of what we already recycle, other county’s have been recycling other plastics (yoghurt, butter tubs, film ect) for years and ‘tetrapak’ cartons, yet Wrexham are still sending it all to landfill.
Is this another example of taking the clack out of us by making sure we follow the right rules.
If we get it wrong will the wraith of this mighty council fall on us from on high per chance and what is the next thing in the pipeline oh I know, no pay rise this year for our elected councillors.I wonder, given how much it has cost to produce these new wheeley trollies, and if the test is successful, the cost for every house in Wrexham County, would it not have been cheaper to just go back to weekly collection and make every single tenant happy instead?
3 Boxes per house plus a trolley at a cost of say £150 per house. Let’s say there are 25,000 houses at the very least, that’s a cost of approximately 3 million 750,000 pounds, and that’s the bare minimum
We used to have one galvanised bin for a family of five collected from your back garden, a fraction of the size of one wheelie bin, which held all our rubbish and there wasn’t a problem. Then we had bin bags which the stray dogs, cats & rats got into & the rubbish doubled. Then we had one wheelie bin which was collected from the garden. Next we had to put it out on the perimeter of our property. As we were now doing the job of the refuse collector, one became two, then boxes & bags and some people had mini wheelie bins too. Where has all this extra rubbish come from & wouldn’t it be cheaper to go back to one galvanised bin. Where the heck does everyone keep all these bins. Mine have to stand in the corner of the front garden. Not a pretty sight.
Why don’t we just take the bloody rubbish to the tip ourselves, it’s getting to the point of it not being a service provided by the council at all, but a legal duty to put your damn bin out!!
And whilst we happily recycle our little bit, china fires up a new coal burning power station every week. If we are serious about recycling and emissions then we would provide clean tech for china with no strings, as we all breath the same air.Whether you believe in recycling or not, the fact is that it costs a lot more in monetary terms than it saves and also with regards to the extra lorries to do the kerb side collection etc. and then the energy to do the recycling itself, maybe that also uses more energy than it saves ?? and as the post above says China is still opening a coal fired power station every seven days…
Still I suppose it creates jobs…
