Week 32: Make sure you’re getting a good deal from your council…

Firstly, yes I have dropped the ball. I haven't posted for nearly three weeks because I have been very naughty and took a holiday - sorry!

Anyway, I'm back, refreshed and ready to post...

I touched on this in week 30. Our council is very good and way ahead of the minimum of two types of recycling collections required, as I believe are most rural areas. Plastic and glass bottles, cardboard, newspapers and garden waste is collected once a fortnight, which is adequate and in addition we have a local recycling tip, which is the cleanest tip I have ever been to! All credit to the council not only in providing the services but for promoting them and having a sign at the tip saying how much of the waste is being recycled. This is a simple yet effecting method of communicating and getting people on board - educational marketing at its best!
