Lettuce Liz then Tetchy Rish! and the battle to replace him

[BillyDee]

And as usual, these announcements should have been made in Parliament, but fuck the rules...

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

That’s so broken by these cunts it will never be back. Especially with a weak as piss speaker

 

[Derby Wolf]

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Hmmm. Really looking quite the Cunt over this. And brazenly not giving a single shit.

 

[pavlosmacwolf]

Nick Robinson gutted him.

So a clip found of Rishi saying his family recycle and use a lot of bins...bit of pain but its great for the environment. So a big fan of multiple, lets say 7, bins.

Thankfully he said this so long ago he can use the excuse that he had forgot all about that and his family now use 1 bin and fly tip every month, like all sensible families.

Clip was from the year *checks notes* 2022 and during one of the 300 leadership contests we had to witness

People bang on about recycling every little thing but plenty of it still gets chucked in landfill if they can't process it for whatever reason.

Tbf that is the point of the seven bins/bags to reduce that contamination / waste

 

[Kenny]

So here we have

Bin for general rubbish
Bin for glass and plastic (previously we had boxes for these...then the bin folk would come along, put the contents of the box into a bin and then empty the bin into the truck. Seemed something of a waste off time and energy did that)
Bag for cardboard
Bin for Green waste and we can now put food waste in there

 

[Tony Towner]

We are just the 3, standard black bin, brown for garden and food, blue for all recycling. At one point we had a bag for paper, but that now goes into the blue bin.

 

[Del Woppio]

Sad thing is, if the government and local authorities could actually get it right, the appetite is there amongst the public to separate waste in an efficient and sustainable way.

I don't think the tech is there yet.

 

[Del Woppio]

Even with existing infrastructure though - food waste, green waste, glass/plastic/metal recycling, and then landfill/general waste. There are facilities in every county that could deal with that. There's absolutely no reason why food waste can't be dealt with alongside garden waste, but most councils refuse to deal with food waste, it's just fucking lazy

 

[sycophantia]

Telford & Wrekin seem to have a decent system
However I'm always a bit sceptical about what happens to it after all the bins/boxes/bags have been collected.

 

[Tom Hark]

We're already up to a potential six in Torbay: bag for paper, two boxes for tins/plastic & cardboard/glass, a food bin, a general bin and, if you can't be arsed to take it to the tip, you can pay for a fortnightly garden waste bin collection too. I don't find it a problem at all.

 

[BillyDee]

Last time I worked in a kitchen it was 10 categories fir recycling. All picked up in a single collection, and not the total ballache we were expecting when it was introduced.

 

[pavlosmacwolf]

The only probkem is, in order to look good, he repealed a 7 bin law that didnt actually exist, ever. The twat.

 

[EpsomWolf]

Two small caddy bins for food waste, a large plastic box for glass, a green wheelie bin for general recyclables (cardboard, cans, plastics etc), a black wheelie bin for general non-recyclable rubbish (must be black bagged inside), and two brown wheelie bins for garden waste fortnightly collected. 5 items one week, 7 the next.

Took bloody ages to get used to it and it’s like military manoeuvres round here on collection day, but gotta say if you put a bit of effort in the amount that is left to go in the black bag for landfill is virtually nothing.

Used to think it was a bit of a faff and it probably still is, but the landfill load is by far the smallest and that can be no bad thing.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

I could probably get away with only putting our general waste bin out every six weeks or so, vanishingly few things we use go in there.
