Wheelie good news

THE Derwent Valley Council was one of the first to introduce a kerbside household recycling service but it has taken a long time for the original black crates to be upgraded to wheelie bins as has occurred elsewhere.

The wait is almost over, with the council set to start delivering yellow 140 litre wheelie bins for roadside recycling collections. The old crates will not be used after March 2. Fortnightly emptying of the new yellow bins will start on the first normal rubbish day from March 5.

Householders will receive a pamphlet explaining the new service when the new bins are delivered.

    Yes that is great news, hopefully a green waste wheelie bin will be next. Then we could put the recycle/green waste bin out on alternate weeks.

    When I looked at what can or can't be put in the bin to be recycled I had to laugh. Compare it to the dumps in India and the people there who are recycling EVERYTHING. No pizza boxes, plastic bags, etc. It seems it is the high profit items that are to be recycled only.

    PS Due to water meter coming into force in July, will the recycling company be paying part of my water bill to cover the cost of water that is used to wash the items, which are then only going to be put in an oven/furnace to be melted down???
