Waste disposal Reviews

Waste disposal was, until a few years ago, a topic that really wasn't that controversial. We generated waste, we binned it and the lid was shut. As, however, we became increasingly aware of the effect (actual or supposed) of our waste on the environment attitudes started to change. Various "forward thinkers" took it upon themselves to ...  Read the complete review

EURO - TRASH ========== Today you don't have to look too hard and view a politically correct message from your local council, shoving their big font junk through your post-box, stating on a non recyclable piece of flimsy paper the entrapment laws that will be enforced if you do not comply to strict measures of the 'waste disposal' ...  Read the complete review

Local council by-laws, coming into being in 2010, will see people who fail to obey public refuse laws paying more fines than ever- more than a shoplifter will in court. If you leave your lid up by six or more inches through over-filling in Northamptonshire you first get a warning then a fine of £100. If builders leave waste outside of your house ...  Read the complete review

over the next 6 years local governments must now double their recycling targets by 2015, this is going to be a mammouth task. This now the time to really get the supermarkets and the manufacturers to be accountable for all the over packaged products they produce. My business is recycling, and i have seen at first hand how the ...  Read the complete review

Waste disposal is a topic that has gained a lot of media attention recently due to environmental issues such as global warming and the looming threat of running out of oil and other natural resources in the foreseeable future. It has therefore been the government and local councils' responsibility to take action to secure a decent future for the ...  Read the complete review

I find the actual matter of disposing of waste a complete mish-mash in my area. Whilst I can put out plastics and paper for recycling, glass has to be taken a fair (in reality driving) distance and I have to purchase bags if I wish vegetation to be recycled. Landfill is a huge problem in this country and so I do feel we should all be doing our ...  Read the complete review

The buzz word at the moment which appears in every newspaper and in every shop you go to is environment. Suddenly after hundreds of years of neglect the people of Great Britain have decided to do something to protect the earth for future generations rather than keep on destroying it. Is it me or does everybodies efforts seem to be falling a ...  Read the complete review

I feel like a good rant against free plastic shopping bags! When they were first supplied in shops and given away free, they changed the sensible way in which shoppers had been operating for decades. Fifty years ago, if you wanted to go shopping fo groceries, you brought with you a couple of purpose-made shopping bags, made from ...  Read the complete review

WASTE DISPOSAL (both domestic and industrial wastes) is a primary issue of our time due to its significant contribution to global warming. Due to improper collection, treatment and disposal of this waste, it brought a lot of environmental and health implications which affected the lives of thousands of people and cost billions of money in legal ...  Read the complete review

RECYCLING - We need a standard approach. To make recycling work we need it to be standardised from the top down. Perhaps even starting at UN level. At present, at local level. city councils are allowed to determine what recycling systems they use. This is no good at all. The reason being, in one council area newspapers are collected in ...  Read the complete review

LESS PACKAGING PLEASE I think it is high time manufacturers were made to use less packaging in their products. The supermarkets could follow suit, they already sell organic products, how about stocking "less packaged" products as well? With all the packaging around the things we buy, no wonder we are creating so much ...  Read the complete review

COMPOST In 2004-2005, 29.7 million tonnes of rubbish was produced by residents of England. That’s a lot of baked bean cans and loo roll tubes! Almost ¾’s of this huuuuuge amount was disposed of in Landfill. Landfill is literally just that – great big holes in the ground where the council puts all our household waste. So what does ...  Read the complete review

We now live, at least here in the western world, in a throw away society composed of plastic containers and packaging. The importance of recycling has to be recognised as a thing that everybody should do. Especially in this country (England) where our landfill are rapidly approaching full capacity, coupled to this is the fact that waste ...  Read the complete review

Those of you who have read my reviews before will know that I'm all about looking after the environment and recycling is one of those issues which I feel is badly misunderstood so hopefully this will be of use to those of you who may be unclear about it. Our planet has a limited amount of resources and a limited capacity to absorb our ...  Read the complete review

Last year when we moved we were given a green bin and a brown bin, one for household and one for garden. Putting the household bin out every week it was always over full. So a black bag of rubbish sat in the top of the bin every week, and we are not unusual in this, it's a common scene on our street. The binmen always take the black bag from ...  Read the complete review

Can any sensible person say that we shouldn't be recycling? i hope not. It is something that i have always felt very strongly about and rather naively i thought that everyone would want to do it. i mean; who really wants to see their planet disappear under a cloud of smog, dust and dirt? So why do few people do it? and why aren't ...  Read the complete review

So as the subject is about body waste disposal, I decided to pu it here for all to read. If I dont submit this now I might just delete the lot in embarresment. If Dooyoo add this catagory, I will move it to ...  Read the complete review

OK I know what you're all thinking, "we're fed up of being told to recycle". But at this time of year when the waste really piles up, we should all think about doing our bit for the environment and our pockets. There are several ways of recycling at this time of year, and your local authority will probably be setting up ...  Read the complete review

Don't you know that even though we have to pay money for the council to do the recycling, they make money from it?. In the U.S.A, they pay people for there rubbish that they do recycle cause they are wise to this fact!. I know we should look after the earth and our trees, but so should our government put there hand in there pocket and pay out!. ...  Read the complete review

Waste is a serious problem in the UK, every year we throw away around 1 tonne of rubbish per household, much of this goes direct to landfill without recovery. However a large amount of what we deem to be waste can actually be re-used or recycled, to encourage this the EU Landfill Directive requires member states to divert 25% of biodegradable ...  Read the complete review
