New recycling plan not very green
10:30am Monday 21st July 2008
So thousands of plastic boxes and bags will now need to be thrown away or recycled. Not very green! The council leader says that returning to weekly rubbish collections would cost £1/2 million per year.
So when the collections were halved to fortnightly (were taxpayers consulted then?), the council must have made a 'cost improvement' of £1/2 million.
What happened to this saving? Maybe some of it was spent on painting white lines on Euxton's roads and paying again to remove them.
We can now look forward to a reduction in our Council Tax bills from next April.
