Bruno Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 It does not say anything about washing tins out, we have had our box a few weeks now, no problems so far, and all seems a good idea... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sibon Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 The blue bin should then be used for glass, cans, and plastic bottles. NOTE, only plastic bottles, not plastic tubs, yog.pots etc. These you have to take to the recycling centres. So while you're at it you might as well take the rest as well. Drink more Gin and Tonic, eat less yoghurt. Problem solved That is a seriously bonkers set of restrictions. Time to complain to Veolia, I think. Or, just put the tubs and yoghurt pots in the blue bin anyway. They will never find out. If enough people do that, pehaps they will figure out a way of dealing with it.

Not if you use the waste water from washing up or washing your hands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTheo Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 Is there anyway you can request they take back the bins? I have never once put out the blue bin and green bin...i don't make a lot of rubbish and my back garden is tiny, don't want it to have 3 unslightly bins in, 1 will do.

ALFORD Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 We are two pensioners over the age of 70, we live in a ground floor flat and pay council tax like everyone else. Where is our BLUE BOX? We can't have one! Veolia have told us that any one in a flat or maisonette cannot have a blue box, not until at least the end of the year! What are we to do with our paper ........take it to the nearest dumpit site! Well with no transport, to do so, if you see all us pensioners catching the bus with shopping bags full of paper, you will know where we are off to! ...........RIDICULOUS ...!
