Recycling From: Dave Walsh Date: 2006 Nov 01 10:57 UTC Short link
Hi Joyce
You could also put pressure on the Royal Mail not to deliver so much junk
unaddressed mail through peoples letter boxes, it would be interested to
know how many tones of unaddressed mail gets delivered through peoples
letter boxes in B&H.
I believe that a similar thing was proposed to full council some time ago (I
may be wrong), but the Labour party turned this down, after all it is our
council tax money that is used to recycle this, or for people that don't
recycle the council has to pay for this to be dumped in landfill.
Every day we here now new reports on what damage we are doing to the
environment, so every one needs to act more responsibly, and if the Royal
mail needs to save money, perhaps they could be persuaded to reuse their red
elastic bands that are littering our streets, and yet again the council has
to foot the bill to clean these up.
