Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

Families could be forced to keep six separate bins due to EU rules

Families may have to separate rubbish into six separate bins due to European regulations coming into force in January, Britain's biggest waste firm warns

Households may be forced to put out six separate rubbish bins due to new EU regulations, Britain’s biggest waste company has warned.


Families will need to dispose of glass, paper, tin cans and plastic separately so they can be recycled without the risk of contamination, under the European rules coming into force in January.


The move could force councils to increase the number of bins outside every home to six, waste collection firm Veolia warned as it launched a campaign against “unnecessary bins”.


The company is arguing that the sorting and division of waste materials can be done after collection, removing the need for more bins.


A spokesman said: “From January 2015, EU rules mean households and businesses may need to separate their waste into six separate bins.

No! Damn it!

ENOUGH!

"The Council" should work for the people (in that area) NOT the other way round!

We should have just one or two bins and "The Council" should do the separating at their "Special Plant".

ENOUGH of this stupidity which is a blight on all of our homes! Most of our homes have not been built with ANY facilities to store bins. That's why they are a visual blight.

There has to be a more Aesthetic way. For Fcuk's Sake there has to be a better way!

Bollocks to the EU!

Yes bollocks to the EU on this daft plan.

It's only a proposal at this time...

But as you know, the tribe of €U lovers at the local councils will run with this...manna from heaven, even more forms to fill in, boxes to tick, and busybodies to employ.


Who said there isn't a God?

How do you say, "For God's sake!" without using the term, "God"?

Aha! Got it!

It's "For Fcuk's sake!"

Have duly edited previous 'bins' post above.

Exec,

Not getting frightened of God's impending wrath?

8-)

How can the average pensioner drag 5 ot 6 bins about, its a crazy idea.

It just won't happen.

We refuse (as in won't, not as in waste) use the Slop Bucket at our house. This means we don't have the small one on the kitchen worktop (or anywhere else in the kitchen) or the slightly bigger one (into which you are supposed to tip the contents of the small one when the small one gets full) elsewhere on our premises.

Neither do we need to purchase (at a ridiculously high cost of 16p per liner!) the biodegradable liners for them either.

For Fcuk's Sake! Are they fcuking serious?

Any other AntiSloppers on MoneyAM or have you been radicalised by the EU's lackey, your Council??

Probably best not to mention any of the above to Tanker....

:o)

My local council doesn't seem to have enough funds to empty the rubbish bins every week instead of every two weeks, never mind finding the money to supply every household with another 5 recycling bins. Anyone who has visited Portugal will know that country has a far more efficient method of rubbish collection and recycling.

Portugal also needed a bailout because they squandered all their money on public sector employment, Doods.

The result of the dead hand of socialism and union influence. It should come as no surprise that the Portuguese government is the equivalent of our Labour party and has been in power since 2011.

Good point hilary.

That will be the fate of many who do stupid degrees at pretend universities. Luton lets in students with no A levels at all. The UK is being flooded by people with media and sports degrees and no chance of employment.
