Are we arguing (sorry, debating) the right thing here? I do wonder!
Is it trade weaste or is it domestic waste? no.. No NO! That isn't the point!
The problem isn't what the waste is, the problem is that the designation/definition (call it what you will) has been changed by person or persons unknown. the simple solution is to change it back.
If this is an EU deirective, then throw it back at the EU as unworkable.
The bins should be re-instated and emptied as before, and continued to be emptried until a workable solution is found.
The right bins were in the right places. the bins were not the problem. Who empties them and who pays is the problem, but it isn't OUR problem.
So how do we proceed? Civil disobedience? Perhaps a month of fly tipping might be the answer I don't know, but certainly writing to relevent councils and MPs might be a start.
