Plastic bags etc are not accepted by either, but Tesco take soft plastics like that. So, what else do DBC not accept? Wouldn’t waste your time with strange Eddie, he just argues about everything & has a real grudge against DBC , probably a failed to get elected!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve already posted the current leaflet on the DBC website. That is the old leaflet. As I said, their website is crap. The basking shark leaflet is to do with the DBC fortnightly collections and they have been accepting type 5 for quite some time before. The fact is, DBC collect the same recycling the same as anyone else on the island, not the bare minimum as you stated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There used to be a large bin for the milk cartons in PSM town hall car park but it was removed several weeks ago. Now they have to be taken to the amenity site. Thinking of going back to bottles as delivered and collected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gladys Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 https://www.recyclenow.im/what-can-i-recycle/ The DBC website refers you to this site. It also lists type 5 plastic, but is headed as in reference to the Eastern Amenity Site although it does refer to the kerbside collection under the plastics bit.

2bees Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 I can’t believe this is still a big deal. Most places have bins one week, recycling the next. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he doesn't live in Douglas! Ah, yes: but he pays the Douglas business rate! “Which is probably more than most Douglas residents pay in rates anyway.”, as you’ll recall… Edited January 2, 2023 by Jarndyce Addition 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoTailT Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 (edited) This thread has become so fucking daft and boring now. People are literally arguing over plastic. The only plastic I argue about is when Mrs NoTailT uses the credit card. Edited January 2, 2023 by NoTailT 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come on though you have to admit that when you go googling for info on recycling plastic types the first search criteria you’d think to put in is “basking sharks” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Non-Believer Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 If I make the effort to be somewhat more environmentally virtuous and do the right thing by the planet by increasing the amount that I recycle, thus reducing the amount of collectable, incinerable waste I produce - will my annual Rates bill be reviewed down accordingly? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
