Croydon's 'recycling' scam

Croydon's decision to go to fortnightly refuse collections on the pretext of improving recycling is looking even more like a scam, as it turns out we have to buy our own food waste bags!

A handfull were delivered, enough for a month's use, or so.  We have to buy the rest!

A patronising booklet with gurning Council staff posing by recycling bins tells us all about this so-called recycling scheme, but it doesn't say what the council ITSELF is doing with its waste.

Council Tax-payers should be told how the Town Hall is recycling its food waste, paper, plastic and the rest ... if it is.  Surely they should be setting an example? But there's no information about this on the website.

As we keep reading about English waste plastics ending up in Chinese landfill, I think we're entitled to to be told how responsible the council is with its plastic disposal.  Be good to see an audit that shows where the plastic ends up.  I feel a Freedom of Information request coming on!
