Barnsley Council...

When its Christmas time, lots of cardboard packaging they decide they are not going to empty the green recycle bins for 8 weeks..please explain the logic?

 

probably because the green bin aint meant for cardboard, especially the printed on type, as this contains chemicals. The same goes for wallpaper, it contains chemicals in the paint, paste etc

 

Barnsley M.B.C and logic, in the same sentence?, you're havin' a larf !

 

ayup yer old git

 

ey op, thee and a good afternoon, to you, as well ! (neer)

 

Isn't "thin cardboard" allowed?

I took that to mean cereal packets and the like.

 

It's the same council that started to "upgrade" my 1 bedroom bungalow 6 months ago & still haven't finished!

If they'd been asked to build the Great Pyramid, they'd still be digging the foundations.

 

RE: Isn't "thin cardboard" allowed?

apparently not, if it is printed on, Ie cornflakes then no

 

What gets me is that I leave my wheely bin outside my gate and when they have emptied it I have to retreave it from down the Road. They never leave it where they find it.

 

Barnsley council only look after themselves

/poo

 

It's not just Barnsley Council workers do that! nt

 

RE: Isn't "thin cardboard" allowed?

I use my green bin for shredded paper and all cardboard packaging without any problems.

 

Emptied ours at 5.30 am loudly this week!

Great when you have a new baby trying to sleep; grrr!

 

so do I

the initial publicity was thin card and then they updated it to cardboard, it was in the Council's newspaper - i think

 

RE: so do I

just quoting what i have been told, any cardboard that has been covered with any sort of laminate, ie glossy is not acceptable, and you are lible to a fine if you place this material in a green bin

 

Hell yeah.
