dutch   68 #277 Posted July 15, 2013 Looking at the online street views of Worthing road I must agree with previous comments made by other people that this was an accident waiting to happen. As far as we know nobody has died in this fire.  All that plastic and the way it is stored. I loved to put paper on fire with a little microscope to see the power of the sun through a lens.

Ghydro   10 #278 Posted July 15, 2013 Scrap yard on Worthing Road   So Whites scrap ? yard went up and spread to the reclaim plastics yard. Failure to access the fire early and the hot weather seem to be major factors for the eventual intensity.  Just hope nobody is injured and no long lasting environmental pollution from the aftermath.

PeteMorris   10 #280 Posted July 15, 2013 Now it's been parachuted in from a different thread, this post makes zero sense!  Moderator note:  I see your point However, for clarification, it was referring to whether or not, the blue bin recycling collections might be affected.  Thanks Pete Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

dieselbabe   10 #286 Posted July 15, 2013 Was talking to a friend down Melton who used to lived here about this fire. He has now just message me saying they to have a fire like ours with the smoke seen for miles in Easton. A factory on fire so he says. Wonder if this hot weather has anything to with it.

puddinburner   10 #288 Posted July 15, 2013 The thought processes of members of the forum never ceases to amaze and confound me!  Personally, I'm a bit worried about wether a knock on effect of the fire will hinder the crocheting skills of boll weevils in the north wing of Sydney Opera House.  Pmsl Like are our blue bin's going to be collected for recycling? Yah know as in plastic's needing to be recycled? The mentallity of some folk amaze, if wit were sh@# you'd be in big trouble Violia obviously put the recycling stuff somewhere??? Will understand perfectly if not.  ---------- Post added 15-07-2013 at 18:08 ----------  So the knock on effect's from this incident to Sheffield's recycling capacity is? Answer's on the back of that blue box. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
