Really!?

Is this for real?! name one reason other than environmental benefits that this is a good idea?! for crying out loud enough of st. helier’s rubbish ends up left behind by the bin men anyway. now your telling them to come and make separate collections for separate types of trash on the same roads over and over?! are we going to be woken up by waste collectors EVERY DAY now!? I mean I’m all for recycling and think its a great idea but doing it kerbside at 6am NO THANKS!

maybe i’m missing the point here but just out of spite seeing as how separation of rubbish is now not compulsory i won’t even be separating the glass now just to prove a point. The one thing however that I will be separating is anything with my address labelled on it. Simply because of the fact that living in housing accomodation the bin men seem to be take it upon themselves to go through mixed trash find an envelope then take that bag up countless flights of stairs and dump the bags on the doorsteps of dozens of my neighbours. This is a joke and something that should be enforced against! THEN they have the cheek to claim they are overworked when all they have to do in reality is remove that one jam jar instead of the envelope, chuck the rest in their truck and be on their way.. 2minutes instead of 15 minutes spent hiking up and down stairs and then having to come back for the rubbish later anyway.

OK rant over. Bin men you ARE valued, BUT please calm down with the doorstep dumping and lets do something about this kerbside nonsense I for one AM NOT going to be setting up separate bins in my kitchen theres just NO ROOM FOR IT!

Recycling is good but to be successful must carry public opinion and make it easy for everyone from big houses to bedsits.

Deep questions still not answered in any debates, by any committee in Jersey.

How are people living in small flats, and bedsit’s, which number thousands in Jersey supposed to sort and store.

Have any ” figures” been produced, as to how many accommodation units would have difficulty because of size.

Euro bins are being removed because to much rubbish is being put in them, say the authorities, sometimes from the country parishes, bringing rubbish to St Helier. Fine just chuck it in a field, is that preferable.

One lorry great, big bins strategically placed up and gone every other day, sounds and is efficient.

New system as reported in the JEP , every household one bin ( to start with) thousands all over town, how can the increase be justified as being cost effective.

5 years time each household has 4 big wheely bins per house hold ( plastic bags for recyclable got damaged and blew away )

Thousands more to collect using small patios and gardens as holding area, now smell of rubbish as collections have been changed from every two weeks to every month to save money.

The solution they don’t want you to know about companies have the proven technology to take black bags of mixed content and put them through a re cycling machine which sorts eighty per cent.

Too simple to contemplate, would save on you sorting rubbish, would cut down on collections and provide an answer for thousands living in Jersey, whom want to recycle but are short of space. Yes and also be Island wide.

I must say for two long Jeresy has failed to recycle its Kerbsides – with modern technology these could be turned into corbels, window facings or even (JMCo in New Street do it) small ornamental footballs.

Why stop at Kerbsides though? Why not recycle the whole pavement?
