Woking Borough Council is currently consulting on the future of waste disposal in Woking.  If you want to make your opinions count, please use the following link http://www.woking.gov.uk/wasteandrecyclingsurvey  I completed it and made use of the box which said ‘if you answered ‘fairly or very dissatisfied to any of the questions about the waste collection overall’ please can you tell us why to make the points ‘that It is not possible to recycle enough plastic.  The non-recycling bin is too heavy and is larger than I need.  It needs drainage holes for easier cleaning and gets smelly, because I have to put food waste in it.  The collection vehicles are not running on an environmentally friendly sustainable fuel.’  I made other comments in a later section that it is not possible to recycle plastics and food waste.  It is a pity that garden waste bags are so expensive and hard to buy during the weekend.  I forgot to mention tetra packs, which is a shame, I will have to ask my wife to fill it out and put that in.  This isn’t as bad as it seems as then we’d have two entries in for the prize money 🙂

Overall I feel that Woking has done a reasonable job getting the recycling to the level it is at now, but we are still thinking small, we’ve got to aim for something nearer 100% recycling – zero waste, to really have anything to be proud of. Things have moved on and Woking needs to keep up!
