Talk about bizarre clubs, but we have set up this weird collective up at work. In my office we have people living in three different boroughs, so we are doing our bit for the environment by swapping our rubbish!!!!
Why? Because no joined up thinking is going on between the bordering authorities and they are all collecting different things for recycling. So, as my doorstep collection won't take card (actually you are lucky if they take anything made of paper that wasn't originally a NEWSpaper), I am now swapping it and some more dubious plastic items (such as liquitab BOXES - type one plastic)for glass and type 1 and 2 plastic BOTTLES which they will collect.
We are doing this because we care about our effect on our environment.
But the real question is this: If we can organise this between us, why can't three neighbouring boroughs of the same county do the same. It would be far more efficient!
