Recycling Police on the Prowl
For most of us, recycling is as easy as being able to throw away used stuff such as cans or paper in the trash bin. But most countries today are also employing various measures to make sure that such practices as waste segregation to help the recycling and waste problem control process are met.
While we all know which materials can be recycled, our duties as concerned citizens sometimes tends to take a backseat. It is either we are doing it on purpose or are really lacking the understanding of what recycling really is. With the influx of Recycling police, a crackdown on erring people and the need to assist people who fail to realize what recycling does mean is a good way to help keep things in perspective.
With the launch of Manukau’s new recycling service this week the detectives have been going ahead of collection trucks checking recycling wheelie bins.
When they discover rubbish, plastic bags or anything else that can’t be recycled inside the wheelie bins, they slap a sticker on the bin so the truck doesn’t empty it.
They also leave a reminder about what can and can’t go in the recycling wheelie bins.
