Recycling - a comment

Malcom Birchall comments on Biffa and recycling

Just a comment on recycling.
In our area (Lees Avenue), the collection on the whole has been pretty consistent. What I have noticed since the change over to Biffa is, they appear to put all items for recycling in the one recepticle, papers, glass and tins all get thrown into the one bin. When Onyx did it, the 3 items where placed in seperate compartments on the same wagon. I just wonder how Biffa seperate the 3 items when they have been squashed together in the one bin. Has anyone else noticed this happening.

regards

Malcolm


- response - from James

yes I have noticed this and I was told that Biffa were going to separate these items back at their depot and this meant that they needed less staff to conduct the collection and could therefor do it more reliably. Time will tell whether that turns out to be true but they seem to have started off at least better than the past.
