Since the white sack for plastic recycling has been in use, I have been amazed at the amount that goes into it every week (not just our home but at houses up and down the street). Very positive.
However, the white sacks were distributed around our area at the same time about a year ago. Whilst they are supposed to have a life of up to three years, this is obviously over-optimistic, as many are starting to fall apart. I have just ordered a replacement via the Ealing Council website - I hope that the next one is more long-lived. And I assume that I can recycle the remains of the first sack in the new white sack! |
