Seven bins?

Do you fancy having seven bins around your home?

There's a proposal by Greater Manchester Councils to have a separate bin for different categories of recyclable stuff along with general non-recyclable waste, garden waste and food waste.

Shouldn't they be discouraging waste of any sort rather than encouraging it? Wouldn't it be a better idea to have all the rubbish being unloaded at the dump and transported along conveyors where anything worthwhile can be picked off?

Where would you keep seven bins? Have you got room for them? Imagine the pavements if everyone put out seven bins? It's a crackpot idea dreamed up by someone with too much time on their hands.

Anyway, do you have "food waste"? Why waste food? You've paid for it, why waste it?

Yesterday, the Express seems to have resurrected some old news from several weeks back:-

they are going backwards there!

I remember when recycling was first introduced there was a separate box for each category, then they introduced the big bins
