“If recyclables such as glass and metal are placed in regular trash they melt in the incinerator, building up on the grates causing the system to get clogged which then necessitates shutting down the operation for maintenance which sucks up valuable time, money and resources.”

If this is true, then why not make recycling mandatory? Why do people still think that the recycling just goes to the incinerator anyway? This is a common reason given by individuals that don’t recycle. The government needs to come out and say specifically THE RECYCLING DOES NOT GO TO THE INCINERATOR. IT goes….. This clarification can end the constant misinformation about recycling and get more people involved.

Its hard to count to two isnt it? Keep your blue bags in bins outside, and get the week right (write it on a calendar if you really cant remember)…be patient and do your part. I manage. Not difficult mate.

‘wondering’, go talk to those in his constituency, they will tell you. He is an ELECTED MP and well-known community activist and last but definitely not least, a devoted family man. He holds a yearly family fund day in his community and has done so for years… Take a visit to the area one day and you may be able to meet some of the beautiful people who live and work there, hear their stories and share their experiences.

Sadly, this is the first I have heard about Recycle Mania 2011, and here it is , November!
Would have loved to enter the curb-side recycling competition, but I am in Pembroke – do I fit with East End or West End? It’s difficult to remember. Also, I agree, every other week pick-up means I often get the wrong week.
However, I must applaud the Minister for pushing this.

We stopped recycling when you stopped the weekly pick-up. Now it all goes in the same bag and everything gets collected twice a week. It’s a shame really, but if you make it difficult, people just wont do it.

I got tired of taking the blue bags back in when I got the pick-up week wrong.
