Community 'very keen' to go green say North East Lincolnshire Council bosses

“At the very beginning:
---------------------------------------
Dam'right, you two (*labourladie* & *over_and_out*)! SPOT ON -- AGAIN! And it shows... a score of Minus-13 indicates even more jiggery-pokery -- via the rating system... say anything against the Grimland Görmless [a.k.a. Y.K.W.!] and recognition is YOURS with a negative rating in multiples of 13.

Your original comments I need, to make the point, but anyway, they bountifully deserve the repeat:

"This isn't the recycling article that was initially posted on this website today. Where has that disappeared to?
Have you messed up the propaganda? Should you have waited until readers had seen the contrived friendly persona of NE£C, before you hit them with the Do's and Don'ts of recycling their waste?
When did you realise the articles had been posted in the wrong order?"***

“exeter44,

Your idea is sound. But I would like to amend your list of suggested undesirables who would do the sorting.

Here goes:

Scallies, doleites, community servicers, lowlifes, minor sentence prisoners and crooked council executives who think just because they're employed and leech taxpayer's money by the £millions, makes them law abiding non-minority residents.”

“You is disrespecting scallies, doleites, community servicers, lowlifes, and minor sentence prisoners though init.

And now you is sayin to put bin men on the dole and make them apply for jobs you've made scallies, doleites, community servicers, lowlifes, and minor sentence prisoners do for nuffin.”

“I may well be regarded as a bigot but still think it a great idea.

If carried out in this fashion less vehicles and bin men would be needed and so they could instead be employed to do the sorting.

There is no doubt about it, it would make refuse collection and sorting easier for everyone whilst fulfilling the government and council aims/targets of maximum possible recycling.”

“exeter44,

Is you some kind of bigot mate? The priciple is ok but make the con-cea-ted ones in society do the $hidt.”

“I have an idea.

We have one bin for each property.

ANYTHING we want to dispose of is placed in that bin.

The council collect and empty that bin of ALL it's contents into bin lorry.

Bin lorry empties contents onto a conveyor belt.

ALL waste is sorted into the many proposed categories by scallies, doleites, community servicers, lowlifes, and minor sentence prisoners.

This will solve many problems and make life so much easier for 'normal' law abiding non-minority residents.

The council would also thus ensure the MAXIMUM possible recycling is performed. Nothing would be in an incorrect receptacle and everyone would be much happier!

Seems simple to me? Any thoughts?”

“So next year Cllr Wheatley will be telling us we have to find room in our gardens for FIVE boxes and 2 wheelie bins and the council will be threatening to fine anyone who does not separate all of their rubbish for them!

My house has only a small front garden and it is a long way down the alley to get to the front of the house, so what do I do with them all? I don't want a front garden full of bins and boxes of rubbish, and I don't see why I should have to take all of my rubbish through the house, so what does Cllr Wheatley suggest I do?”

“exeter44,

Good old government targets!

What you have to remember is the first thing that happens when the government (or Brussels) hands out targets for the purpose of playing one authority off against another is that they find a way, very quickly, of how they can fiddle their scores.

I don't know how they're achieving this with recycling, but the objective will be almost certainly be to better neighbouring authorities scores (or as many council's as possible) and becomes the primary objective over collecting and distributing the actual recycled items. There will always be a way to better their scores which is not necessarily reaching the objective of why targets are introduced in the first place.

What you have to work out is how your actual recycling percentage going down from 80% to 40% is going to fiddle NE£C's recycling scores.”

“Can't believe the council will reach any recycling targets since removing the facility of putting cardboard in the garden waste bin.

Something needs doing URGENTLY about this. My garden bin has gone from almost full fortnightly to only having the bottom covered, meanwhile the general waste ( which is weighed prior to going for landfill) is now full to the top and very heavy since the cessation of cardboard collection.

I would say I previously recycled at least 80% by weight and this has now fallen to no more than 40%. if the rest of the borough performs by the same margins the council will be receiving government fines for breaching targets.”

“I is not sayin nuffin, but that geezer in the image – not the one who is aydin behind them tripple boxes – but him crammin his cardboard in that brown bin, which is illegal. Is e Peter Cook or is e Alan Partridge?”
