Recycling rubbish - easy or confusing?
I’d really like to know how you’re coping with the initiaitive launched by Ealing Council to persuade householders to recycle more of their rubbish.
A raft of measures were introduced at the end of 2007, to make collection of waste disposal within the borough more environmentally friendly. This included for the first time the collection of plastic and taking all of the rubbish on the same day.
I believe there were some complaints but the the town hall has been quick to point out it was a tiny percentage and no more than usual.
Council leader Jason Stacey said the some of the problems in December were down to new bin crews who did not know the ‘nooks and crannies’ of the borough’s geography.
And apparently Cllr Stacey make sercret visits to 10 roads each week to get an idea of of the progress being made in his bid to clean up the borough.
So, let me know if you’re getting the help you need to recycle rubbish or are you confused?
As you can see by the comments made on my previous blogs re: major stores leaving Ealing Broadway, there is a big debateto be had on how to keep the quality shops in the borough.
Obviously this all ties in with the proposed Leaf development by Glenkerrin, which has sparked strong feelings on both sides.
And it all points to 2008 being quite a pivotal year for the borough.

I think ealing recycling has improved greatly. I recycle most of my rubbish now since they started collecting plastic and I only need to put my "non recycled" rubbish out once every two weeks as I don't fill a full black bag in a week.
The new garden bags are good but 3 is not enough and apparently they can't provide more for the time being; so lets wait and see.
