After an initial period of laid backery the environmental hygenists are taking a tough line with recycling. Toe the line or keep your rubbish. Two weeks ago a bin was firmly rejected as being full of cardboard boxes which could be recycled rather than sent to China for underpinning the Great Wall Land fill site. Week before the self same boxes had been left in a neat little pile: rejected as they were not in the transparent Purple bags. This week-see image-a bin has been returned full-not because of the unrecyclable contents (polystyrene) but because the lid did not quite close.

Topical if politically incorrect dialogue:

Health Inspector Where's your Bin?

Chinese Restaurant Owner I have bin to Hong Kong
HI No, wheres your dust bin?
CRO I have dust bin to Hong Kong
HI No, No Where is your Wheelie Bin?
CRO I reely reely have been to Hong Kong
