BLUE BOX LITTER PROBLEM IN HIGH WINDS



Very high winds made life very difficult for those putting out their blue and green recycling boxes yesterday.
From my experiences touring around the Oscott Ward many ended blown away half way down the street.
This has left even more litter on our streets and I have called on the powers that be to take action.
I would always advise that before putting out the paper recycling bin you make sure you weigh it down if you know it is going to be windy.
The crews should make more effort to put the boxes back in gardens and preferably near a fence or wall when it is poor weather conditions. It is best to leave the bins on the edge of your garden not on the pavement.
