Gazette Letters Page - 22/09/2006
It was interesting to see two more letters in The Thurrock
Gazette
from Mandy Wallace and Labour Councilor John kent enforcing
my recycling story below, by asking Thurrock Council to
improve Thurrock's recycling by supplying larger blue
recycling bins to all households in Thurrock.
We
are trying to help! Where are our big New Blue recycling
bins?
Thurrock
MP Says We Need To Recycling More - 01/09/2006
Thurrock
Gazette - 01/09/2006
I support MP Angela Smiths most welcome comments in the
Thurrock Gazette regarding everybody should recycle more.
But
Is Thurrock Council Doing Enough ?
Thurrock Council could lead the way by implementing three
changes to make this request a reality.
Bigger
Recycle Bins.
The Recycle Boxes that everybody uses at present
are to small, and results in many residents using extra
bags that are left on top or around the box causing a
problem on windy days with paper being blown around the
streets, adding to the cost of street cleaning.
The problem
can be resolved by giving households another blue Wheely
Bin.
Should
Recycling Be Compulsory?
Thurrock residents should be encouraged to recycle
by making it Compulsory.
Free
Appliance Pick Up.
Thurrock Council could arrange for the Cleanaway Contractors
to pick up Elderly residents large Item's like Cookers
and Fridges FREE
of charge.
We
All Have A Duty To The Elderly Folk.
Senior Citizens cannot afford to pay the Contractors
£20 or £30 pick up fee's.
