WHAT A LOAD OF RUBBISH!


It is always encouraging to learn that one is not alone. 

At least 3000 people have now taken the trouble to object to the council’s totally irrational bin swap scheme.

A Tameside resident, proving that not all Tamesider's are of the lemming persuasion, has opened an on-line petition stating logical objections to the scheme and questioning the council’s validity in introducing such nonsense.


Throughout this sorry pilot scheme the council has claimed initial success for recycling rates and reductions in items going to landfill, but there is growing evidence, right under our feet, that the new bin swap collection scheme is going to turn out more costly in a whole range of ways.

A seventy eight per cent success rate! Frankly, Tameside Council, that’s rubbish!

Another point you might like to take note of, is when ‘the council’ introduce us to one of their brainchildren, they usually announce it through the particular councillor who is ‘responsible’ for that particular function, however, if their brainchild is criticised in any way, shape or form, it’s always a nondescript ‘council spokesperson’ who is dragged before the media in the hope of appeasing the populous! 

They do this for two main reasons; first a 'spokesperson' is anonymous and therefore cannot be called personally into question. 

The second is to protect the councillor ‘responsible’ from public ridicule thus allowing them to carry on regardless!

In this case the ‘spokesperson’ appears to have missed the salient point in that if a family currently fills their large black bin with general waste over the collection period, that same amount of waste will not fit into a smaller bin, no matter what colour it is!

To put it plainly, the consents of a full big bin, into an empty small bin won’t go!

I urge all my readers to sign the petition. …It won’t make any difference, as those on the council have already decided to proceed with this stupidity regardless, but it will illustrate that these career councillors only come knocking when they need re-electing!

  1. Those green bins are too small for the daily rubbish for family's. People are going to be stacking up rubbish.

  2. If lots of people wrote to John Taylor to complain about this bin swap it would have a massive affect on him.
