Recycling collection in the dark

Waltham Forest Council have contracted Kier to collect both rubbish and recycling on the same day in the same lorry. The lorry is divided into two sections.

Chaos, with some streets not having had anything collected for weeks. Also recycling was seen going into the rubbish section of the lorries when the recycling bit was full. A friend of mine in Chingford saw them putting the recycling from the green recycling bins into the black rubbish bins and then chucking the contents into the rubbish section!

RoseMarie at my rugmaking session said a lorry had come back to do the recycling in her street. My rubbish bin was emptied during the day yesterday, but they were collecting the recycling at 7.30 in the evening. I hope this means some low-paid people are getting some decent overtime!
