Besieged by Bins?
At the Cabinet meeting on Monday, Babergh decided to introduce a food collection service,
This will be in the form of a third mandatory bin for our residents. There are other modifications proposed to the collection service and these will cost around £1 million in the first year.
The figures presented to us did not include possible income from the Government via the Administrator for Extended Producer Responsibility.
Also excluded was how the Council will treat the food waste collected. There was talk of composting (for farmers) and the production of fuel gases. However, when I asked about the where, the when and the how much this might cost and why it was not included the figures presented, I was told that this was a separate project and full details would be forthcoming in due course.
(I felt as though I had stepped out of an episode of Yes Minister).

Down in Croydon we have had 3 bins plus garden waste (voluntary) for some years now. I have no idea what happens to the food bin. It is amazing how heavy one weeks food waste is for just 2 people. The Council has a massive incinerator but I hope the food does not go in there. I am going to ask the Council what does happen to food waste.
Alwasy good to hear from your planet

We have a giant incinerator which when commissioned was supposed to be environmental friendly with carbon particles being removed before smoke was released. The smoke/steam was to be used for heating green houses (growing tomatoes).
Talkin to a Cabinet Member last week it was obvious that she had no idea of how big a composter was required. a
it could be worse… you could be watching a lunatic run for office while spouting endless nonsense about worshipping dictators
Thank you.
There are no limits to the foolishness of the electorate, but that is why we have democracy!
