I loved your rant about recalcitrant residents flaunting recycling bin rules in apartment blocks. However, I must say that where I live in Sydney in the Northern Beaches Council, the URM rubbish trucks doing the weekly rounds have been sighted just emptying the contents of all different colour coded bins (yellow= containers, red= putrescible rubbish, blue= paper) together in the back of the truck at once.
No wonder ‘people’ don’t give a toss if Council doesn’t care!
The ABC’s War on Waste was interesting to watch on where our recycling really goes.
