Recycling is shameful

Published Date: 29 February 2008
THE good people of Wakefield are obviously doing a great job of recycling by squashing and flattening their cans and plastic bottles.
How do I know?
There are plenty of them, and of course paper and card covering the grass verges on Dewsbury Road. What a lovely sight they are!
Wakefield precinct and the rest of the city centre is just as bad – there is rubbish everywhere.
Who on earth came up with the inspired decisions to provide us with lightweight green boxes that are bullied by the slightest breeze, that refuse to allow binmen to pick up fallen or stray items, and, the best one of the lot, to take away the hard-working gangs of street cleaners that tried to keep our city tidy on a daily basis.
The people who lead our council should hang their heads in shame.
What is the point of investing millions of pounds in development and regeneration, while at the same time attaching little or no importance to how clean and tidy our city should be, but sadly is not?
