A COUNCIL has banned its refuse workers from collecting recycling containing McDonald’s litter. Workers have been told to rummage through rubbish and not pick up bins with the fast food giant’s box…
"It’s embarrassing. We’ve been told to recycle for years, but now we’re actually doing it, the jobsworths are telling us we’re doing it wrong.
“How can you have the wrong sort of rubbish? It makes you wonder what we’re actually paying our council tax for?” says all main meal and side salad containers are recyclable and McFlurries no longer have plastic lids.Council chiefs insisted the scheme was not aimed at “punishing” or “shaming” residents, but to boost recycling rates.
Cllr Daniel McNally said: “We ask residents to put cardboard takeaway containers in their general waste so that they can be turned into electricity.”
