Living Etc and comment deletionn and recycling

Does anyone want about three years of Living Etc magazine and a few Elle Decorations? We're having a clearance and the magazines are destined for the recycle box.

Also apologies to someone whose comment on key cutters I deleted by accident, they suggested Queen's Park near the station I think.

Jessie left an interesting comment on Brent Council's new recycling policy - it's here. It seems to be alternate fortnightly collection of recycled stuff (this time including carboard) and other.

I like the idea of including cardboard in the recycling, as it was a bit strange having to separate out paper and cardborad. But every fortnight is a bit, well, rubbish.

The bad news is we will have our rubbish collected every fortnight! Yes every fortnight with the recycling collected the other week.
That means a new second weelie bin!!!
Also a kitchen waste caddie container.
So if you live in a convertrd house you will ahve 4 weelie bins and 2 kitchen waste boxes.
And if you miss a collection your household rubbish could sit outside for a month!!!!
This has not been thought through and YES it is a load of rubbish.
The consultation asks questions that the want answering.
I love recycling and welcome the changes BUT not at the risk of an environmental health problem which will occur with this plan.

I'd be more postive about the recycling & refuse policies if I thought Brent was actually doing it all for green reasons rather than £ saving.
