Lib Dems talk rubbish!
Derwentside Lib Dems put out the following press release today:
“Lib Dems have distributed two and a half thousand of Derwentside’s recycling information “wheels” in Consett. The clever little device tells people exactly what they can and can’t put in their twin-bins, and is a must for everyone keen to improve their recycling. If you want one too, ring Derwentside’s customer services on 01207 693693. “Councillor Owen Temple met some confusion on the doorstep while handing out the wheels. People were especially surprised that they must NOT put plastic supermarket bags in their wheeled bins, the opposite of what they were once told. It turns out it’s because some people had put dog dirt and soiled nappies in plastic bags in the recycling bins which was completely unfair on the workers who have to sort the recycling materials. “Commenting, Councillor Temple said, “I’m sure that if people knew about their fellow citizens who have to sort out the recycling waste, they would make even more effort to get it right.”
