Lisa, If you were nearer, you could have one of ours. We already had two bins of our own - one for food & anything else that smells and one for plastic, paper, cardboard, etc... then our Council gave us a green box for newspaper recycling... then they gave us a red box for glass recycling... then they gave us a big brown wheelie bin for garden refuse. Wonder what we'll get next? It's getting a bit crowded round our side door! LoL CB >|< X

Has anyone worked out if the good done by recycling is cancelled out by the damage done in manufacturing all these plastic bins!

god not as incompetant as ours.just had a phonecall back for the head of the department saying that she will look into it.strange the bin has never been nicked since we had it for two and a half years and then the recycling bin comes the bins gone.how strange.this is what i am paying my council tax for!!!!xxxxxx(:

they will probebly recycle them when they are old and battered.xxxxx(:

Our local council provided green boxes for bottles and cans last year. Also a blue bag for paper. We have to provide our own bin for other waste. A couple of weeks ago my green box went missing. I have been told kids take them to use for toy boxes! So the following week I managed to catch the men emptying boxes and asked for a replacement. No longer allowed to carry them so phone the number on the side of our van they said. Well all week I tried, every day at various times but I never got an answer. Not even an answerfone. I got so frustrated that I searched the net, found the site and emailed them. They actually answered that and said they would deliver me a new box as soon as but so many have gone missing it may take a while. No explanation as to why they don't answer phones though.
