"It's a farce - you need a PhD in Garbology to determine what plastics should be recycled"

We are all actively encouraged to recycle household waste and what a farce this is, you have to have a PhD in Garbology to determine what plastics alone should be recycled etc.

Plastic drinking bottles OK but not the plastic tops, absolutely no plastic yoghurt or margarine/butter cartons including plastic food trays it’s a ‘minefield’ and this is just plastics!

It has taken quite a few years to persuade the masses to recycle household waste in the correct way and I can see a lot of this work being undone.

Fly tipping will increase massively on top of the already epidemic of fly tipping around the borough (take Roaring Gate Lane lay-by) the lane to Manchester Airport.

Forget the idea that everyone will jump in a car and drive to the tip with garden waste, what about the people who have not got a car or can’t drive?

Garden waste will inevitably be put ‘stealth’ with other waste undoing years of legitimate recycling.

Yet again all down to pounds, shillings and pence, save a little but create havoc.

Well done Trafford Council.
