Cardiff - Changes to your recycling

Re: Cardiff - Changes to your recycling

Postponed or cancelled?

They postponed me again, may as well cancel now, can't see them picking up tomorrow and Thursday.

A couple of months ago our green bag collection got postponed from the Wednesday, eventually being picked up the following Monday. They still turned up 2 days later to collect the green bags as normal that week. Utterly pointless.

Cardiff council recently emailed me saying they need to find savings of 58 odd million pounds and here they are introducing a new bin system with new vehicles - when the old system worked fine.
Cardiff council are lots of things but business savvy and financially prudent arent two of them.

The new system is designed to improve recycling rates, and should avoid penalties for not recycling enough.
But they've cocked up big time on its implementation.

Ikea bags that flap open, let rain flood in and the contents out, and are so light they fly down the street in the wind?

Who designed it, Cardiff nursery kids?

I just can't believe the incompetence of these people, it's wasting so much money!

What do these lot do?

No one is worried about that. But your the huge bags getting wet and then being stored in the house is an issue. Why would anyone want it?

For the first time in 25 years I recycled nothing last week. I just put the stuff in the black bin.

At best ill be putting out a few glass jars every other week, otherwise I simply don't have the storage.

Because not everybody lives somewhere with a garage or a shed.

Doesn't bother me personally but the bin men hate it and it makes things harder to sort later.

The bin men used to refuse to pick up large wet cardboard boxes you were supposed to keep them dry by breaking them up and putting them inside green bags, now they are all soaking wet?

Why are you asking daft questions, do you work for the council, or just lack of common sense?
