ot Pink bin.

[Grist_To_The_Mill]

That puzzles me though great fire because I have always taken my drinks cartons for recycling at supermarket sites. If I put it in the pink bin I assume it will not be recycled..

Yes it will. The pink bin waste goes to the BDR site at Manvers where it’s separated. Very little goes to landfill now.

BDR incidentally stands for Barnsley Doncaster Rotherham, so Sheffield isn’t included, they do something different to everybody else due to their massiveness.

Who's representing the colour blind in this argument? I demand they scrap the colour coding and bring in another way to differentiate because people are making fun of me when I get it wrong.

PS Don't laugh, I'm sure this will happen in today's society. Here I'd be suing someone

Doncaster have black bin for rubbish, green for garden waste, blue for recycling and a green box for glass and jars.

All Rotherham Council had to do was bring in a new blue bin and leave the others the same.

Seems to be run by incompetents in all departments.

Its probably all part of the plan gf...to confuse us all which takes time up, which in turn stops the boredom, and keeps us occupied like a big jigsaw from a charity shop with pieces missing..good idea really..not in the same class as previous ideas though..i mean,...town centre television, ears of corn and rotherham by the sea will take some beating..

It confused my neighbours, they lived just over a mile down the road in Elsecar. So moved from Barnsley to Rotherham and kept getting the bins wrong.

BTW if you live in Rotherham you might notice that the paper and card bin and the glass/ tins and plastics bin get emptied at the same time and go in the same bin lorry.

Truly stsggering. It will take them best part of 30 seconds to work out.

The BDR system that we use is far superior than the system Sheffield uses. Sheffield (as we would expect) have this “we know best” attitude and when it was set up refused to be part of the BDR agreement preferring to go their own way. Oddly though Sheffield has in recent months joined in with the BDR councils on ways to get a joint waste strategy.

The BDR plant at Manvers is one of the best in Europe and has a really good record of reducing landfill waste whilst at the same time providing fuel for the Ferrybridge power station. When originally planned though the usual collection of nimbys raised many objections and it was nearly cancelled. Such is the waste problem in the UK we are now approaching the need to build a sister plant in the area but just where it will go and how it would be financed is up for debate.
