We are constantly being told that we must be 'doing our bit', recycling paper, glass, plastic and now waste food. I contacted Oldham council to find out why i did not have a bin for green waste (ie garden waste) the response was that they did not have the funds to provide this at this time. We have not had the opportunity to recycle the things that they want us to. i have to pack up my car and take the stuff to tesco or to the council tip if i want to play my part. Others might not wish to or be able to do this. come on Labour pull your finger out and actually provide the collections for the whole of Oldham and not just for the council estates. Also the photo for this news story says it all! The food in the picture is mostly fruit and veg and there are boxes in the waste (not being recycled then) which means that the bulk of the waste is, as is the norm, from commecial sources who dump the unsold produce inproperly and get away with it.
