But the intended audience of this video most definitely are, given physical evidence. Not sure it'll make much difference as i think the problem isn't education in so much as pure laziness but i think this video is a positive step forward.

I dont think its lack of knowledge as if it was you would just have incorrect waste being stored in incorrect bins not strewn around. I hope the video will do some good but sadly I am not convinced. Oh well we live in hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desy Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 In Rotherham for me as a disabled person that is partially sighted it has been a complete **** up all they had to do was put stickers on his what they are going to do . But that was easy along with the date it started no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I dont think much money was spent on it to be honest. Just the hire of a camcorder. Its not exactly an academy award winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There have been notices in the paper, on Facebook, a letter sent to our home and a tag on the bin explaining the swap and what goes in each bin. So we don't forget, we keep the general waste bin in one place (where it has always been) and the recycling bins elsewhere. They are all quite close to the back door but at different sides.

That would work if your round stayed the same. I was moved to a new one and RMBC didn't think it was worth telling me. For two weeks I had no collection without ringing to complain and involving a councillor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They didn't used to have our road on the list on the website but we are the same as the rest of the village so it easy to guess. We are sometimes forgotten as we are on the edge of the village and the houses at the end of the road have theirs done the day before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
