Thread Name: BS: Recycling
Subject: RE: BS: Recycling
Recycling in Great Britain is a FARCE !! Here in Oxfordshire, where I live, us ordinary mortals are requested and required to put our wine bottles and glass jars into a designated container for re-cycling. So this takes place,every week ,at the up-market, exclusive,expensive, housing complex where I work as the Caretaker/ Concierge. I guess that the residents of the 17 apartments ,between them, throw away maybe 30-40 empty wine bottles per week. BUT--the Hotel next door, that shares the same garbage collection service, generates about 400 empty wine (and other) bottles EVERY DAY !-----and they get put out with the ordinary garbage EVERY DAY !! So there"s one set of rules if you live in a private house, and one set of rules if you run a business !! RECYCLING ?? Don"t make me laugh !!! Waste of time !!
