blue bags

[Howard]

It would be good if Stockport would also collect the plastic and cardboard recycling instead of having to take it to the tip. With the current system glass, tins, paper and garden waste can all be collected. the only thing I have to go to the tip regularly for is to get rid of cardboard and plastic.

Blimey! Calm down! There is plenty of recycle points around Marple! I happen to live near the tip thats why I said I would be going to the tip, I also do not have a car, but there's nothing wrong with my legs to walk round.
It's not rocket science to put a bag at the garden gate. So why will it be dumped?

Why do you think it will be a cleaner greener marple more people will dump rubbish how do we take rubish to the tip if we dont own a car .what happens to the rubish that people cant be bothered puting on the pavement in the blue bags how many dustbin men have lost ther jobs because of the new collection . not as many will now be needed .

Well mine arrived this morning, a nice roll of 60 blue bags! The extra 8 are for the times we have extra waste eg Xmas, easter etc...
Not quite sure yet how it will go, I'm all for trying but have to confess I usually put 2 bags out per week. One thing I will be doing now (which I must confess not to doing) is to start taking my plastic milk and juice bottles down to the tip. That should take my waste down to 1 bag per week I'm sure  
Here's to a greener cleaner Marple  '>
