Yes Eric, we are obsessive about waste here because this is a thread about waste and not about the centre of Ealing which would be another thread. Some of us who suffered the waste strewn across our pavements for the whole of the Christmas holidays last year are somewhat concerned that it should not happen this year. Last year there was no note from the council put through our letterboxes to remind us to put the waste out for collection on the Saturday instead of the Monday. The result was that by the time a collection was carried out in late December, there was rotting food, plastic and paper all over the street. No doubt you are all waiting eagerly to hear the result of the experiment. On Saturday I counted 45 areas for collection on the pavement which were all collected. Today, Monday, 26 bags have gone out which have not been collected.I wonder what would happen if the council put a note through the door saying “if you put your waste out, properly segregated and on the right date, we will not collect the direct debit on your council tax next month,” it would have any more success?Ah well, better email the council.
