...yeah, it really is an issue, I think..I mean obviously we’re all ordering so much online now and have been for a long time...and that’s often packaging to be recycled, isn’t it...and that for us is every two weeks for the recycle bins...I’ve seen a few times that a family who lives close by and have small
three children have often put a few flat packed boxes etc by the side of their bin and it hasn’t been taken but just popped inside the bin for the next collection...which I do understand as well but then it just carries the issue as you say, on and on...there has been no solution/suggestion to that ever offered or suggested so far as I know for these ‘extraordinary times’ as they say...of people living in the online word of shopping and packaging and having so much more than in back in the day...
