We are in an area in which Dublin City Council don't provide refuse bins but they still collect bagged household refuse for a reduced charge. Recently we received a roll of green bags for the Oxigen collection. Printed on the bags are clear instructions on the types of waste that they will collect (paper, light cardboard, aluminium drinks cans, tin food cans, tetrapak but not glass bottles, plastics etc.). Also provided was a little calendar listing the dates on which the green bags would be collected (about once a month and not necessarily on the same day as the usual waste collection). So what do most people in my estate do? They fill the bags with the wrong sort of recyclables (which the Oxigen people remove and leave on their driveways anyway), they leave the bags out on the wrong days (often simply sticking it out on the normal bin day regardless of what the little calendar says) and/or they simply fill the bags with normal household waste for collection by the DCC bin men (which I think they will not collect due to it being in a green bag). Are these people just ignorant, stupid or lazy? :rolleyes
