I have been an ardent recycler after watching a program about a ship that sailed for six years looking for somewhere to dump waste that was mainly recyclable.
Imagine my dissatisfaction when I arrived home to be told that I had filled an old recycled bin and therefore it was not emptied.
Do I now put the bottles, cans and paper in the landfill bin?
The citizens of Orange pay extra rates to recycle suitable waste. These oversights may need to be addressed, but leaving the recyclable waste to be put into the land waste bin is not really the answer.
