Hi,I am dangerously close to complaining to a local authority. As I'm an anarchist at heart you can see that things must be pretty bad...
I was reading yesterday about how recycling theft is rife in the US.
People go around in trucks and steal the high value recycling items from people's green bins (such as paper and aluminium cans). Leaving behind the low value stuff such as plastic.
This means that the local authorities and genuine recycling companies make a loss and an important green service starts losing money.
So I got out of bed this morning and noticed on the way to my car that our recycling had been rummaged through and the cans and paper removed.
The bastards!
My better half didn't see a problem with this banditry, seeing the thieves as people helping recycling to take place. I had to disagree, on the basis that the real recyclers wouldn't be able to make a profit from what was left. The high value items help to pay for the recycling of other low value materials.
Oh and recycling was left strewn around the road (including glass).
If I catch these wankers I'll shove my recycling so far up their arse they'll need a pot-holing team to get it out again.
I'm not being pro-authority here. But I am definately for a good business recycling my trash and helping to reduce the mounds of crap that I contribute to landfill.
Np Out

It feels like someone stealing bibles at the bookstore somehow.
Its worse than that.
This recycling is actually valuable.
yep, you're right Todge. Although I'm still not certain that the councils make anything other than a loss on recycled goods, anyway.
