Dirty Buggane Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 Wait till all the generation from renewable sources and net zero dates have to be revised, as they were a pipe dream to even begin with. And any new dates will just be virtual signaling, unless this present government wish to try and bleed us dry in a rush to bankruptcy IMHO. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although there may be an element of virtue-signalling to mask it somewhat. More recycling would reduce the amount of money spent on sending stuff to the incinerator.

Dirty Buggane Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 (edited) Then they would have to think of something else to raise revenue from. Do people not realise we are a smidgen off bankruptcy, this government and CS have taken us to the edge Edited July 13 by Dirty Buggane 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pillocks closing the NCAS on Sundays contributes little towards the recycle/reuse ethos either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only fools try to burn glass bottles and jars. We are still paying the price for landfills at the Raggat and Point of Ayre. https://www.gov.im/media/1371232/arcadis_raggat-leachate-revised-and-updated-report-april-2016.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2bees Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 When I was a child, I thought the bin men took all the rubbish to a processing facility where they would sort it all out & make use of anything useful - that was 45 years ago and I am still quite shocked that this doesn’t happen. A conveyor belt with a big magnet above it to sort the metal, then the manual sorting can begin. Everything can be reused in someway or another, even if it is just to be burned. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL Less stuff sent to the incinerator means the price of sending stuff to the incinerator has to go up to cover their costs, and the incinerator becomes far less efficient to run. It needs more stuff sending there, not less 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is the circular economy? The circular economy is a model of production and consumption, which involves sharing, leasing, reusing, repairing, refurbishing and recycling existing materials and products as long as possible. In this way, the life cycle of products is extended. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A fool and his money..... Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 Interesting that we can afford the best part of £100k per year plus pension for some stuffed shirt to be in charge of waste management, but the Northern Civic amenity site is facing closure due to lack of funding. Funny old world. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny old world. The whole of waste management is fragmented. I would take it from the local authorities and have it done more efficiently by one organisation.
