WBC and recycling

I think that Warrington Borough Council's recycling policies need at little re-work. The concept of moving to a fortnightly refuse collection will only work if re-cycling is embraced 100%. After a weekend staying with family in the Borough of Richmond, I was impressed with the council and their recycling policy.

They provide extra bins for glass, cans, plastics and food waste, and they collect these on set days, this is the only way that a fortnightly collection can work. Those people in Warrington without transport, will be unable to visit the re-cycling centres (Not taking into consideration the emissions from the car travel required). The recycling centres also need to be serviced more frequently, they are over flowing, with signs that leaving bags beside the bins is classified as fly tipping. So the easy option is to criminalise law abiding people who wish to comply with council policies, but who are failed by the council's lack of joined up thinking...
