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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Just the hire of a camcorder. Its not exactly an academy award winner. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

For two weeks I had no collection without ringing to complain and involving a councillor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

JMinSheff   10 #12 Posted March 13, 2019 Presumably the cost of cleaning up this area of the city is many, many times the cost of this video.  Rather than being reactive all the time, the Council is trying to be proactive by investing in education to try and change behaviour and reduce clean up costs. What's the problem?
