When I think of the hundreds of cars with engines idling, adding to the carbon fumes in the environment, who sit in the queues every week for hours when one lorry could be used for the same purpose, it makes my blood boil. This Lib Dem Council seem to have lost their way on this.

Why were we not consulted before this was introduced instead of after which is a total waste of money and waste of council time and resources

I have seen the garden waste lorry collecting two bags from one house on my road and this a complete waste of money. They might just as well collect all the bags as they used to! It also encourages people to have bonfires. Not a good or sensible policy.

Some people may not be able to get to a gargen refuse facility or have any help to do so.
Composters attract rats and foxes.
I am out and about on the roads every day, I have never seen more than 2-3 garden bags in any street. There is very little evidence of this new service being used. The council send out their big lorries for very few bags. How cost effective is that? How good for the enviroment ?

Recycling should be a FREE choice. If it is not FREE, people shall not bother to recycle. FREE means allowing no charges to occur; means people shall not have to pay to do whats right. Recycling is not a crime, therefore, why should there be a charge.

Recycling is VOLUNTEERING, not a CRIME!!!!

Scrap charges, to let people live their lives VOLUNTEERING to recycle from the goodness of their hearts.

There are now about 24,000 household in Sutton with no garden waste collection service and they will have to take the garden waste that can't be put in compost to the tips. That could mean an extra 3000-6000 tonnes of CO2 into the atmosphere. The best way to transfer garden waste to the tip is by kerbside collections by the council. How many people need to tell councilors that before the see sense?

I've heard from one councilor that it is costing Sutton council tax payers £1,000,000 this year to collect the new green bags from only about 3000 homes. Every green bag is being subsidised from the council tax by about £300. When the cost of opening up another tip is also counted, it looks as if it is costing Sutton council tax payers more this year for no service than it did for a fortnightly collection last year. The average on the council tax is about £15. We are still paying!

]]> Fri, 18 Jul 2008 02:48:17 UTC 3887390 Mrs Joyce Bellingham [Signature #826] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/3885675?utm_medium=rss There was no consultation on this scheme.
It is a mistake to swop a perfectly good waste collection scheme with a bad one to try and generate money for the Council. A glass collection is unneccesary. Sutton has ample bottle banks and it is easier to take glass to a bottle bank than to take garden waste to the recycling centre.
