denlin Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 It's no good complaining to Veolia, you'll just get the same stock answer. They'll be reading from a script:hihi::hihi: Ring council, this usually works:hihi: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speleo1 Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 its only partial recycling they do,they only want what they can make money on, put all you unwanted plastic bottles etc in btm of bin and what they want on top, it works for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strix Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Sheffield don't actually recycle plastics, they send them to a recycling company in Wolverhampton (according to the nice lady I spoke to today), so presumably it is they who don't have a use for microwave meal trays etc Veolia in Sheffield DO recycle their own paper though We used to live in Peterborough where EVERYTHING went in the recycling. Here you can't put bottle tops and suchlike in, which messes with your head a bit when you're used to everything non-compostable being recycled!

Hawkeye80 Posted June 9, 2011 Author Share Posted June 9, 2011 Lol! Yes that is one solution. hide the recyclables that they choose not to collect at the bottom of the bin!!!! (two fingers up type thing!) I don't know why this has touched such a nerve with me but considering all the sorting that we're currently doing its really infuriating to find that Veolia's employees have now been instructed to personally root around everyone's bin and punish people for putting 'non allowable' recyclable materials in them...even though on their website you CAN recycle these materials - as long as you transport them, at you're own expense and time to one of their facilities. I take on board the earlier post about not bothering to contact Veolia regarding this. As stated I also expect that this will go on deaf ears. I have found out that several people in fulwood have begun complaining both to their local MP (is that Nick Clegg????!!!!!) and Sheffield City Council. I would suggest that anyone else who feels strongly about this (surely not just me) should also voice their discontent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkeye80 Posted June 9, 2011 Author Share Posted June 9, 2011 ....My neighbour has just popped around to complain about the bins. Apparently somebody put a chip tray in his bin (sometime between last night and this morning) He did nothing wrong but has been victimised!!!!!
