Sounds exciting doesn't it! However in view of the number of questions that have been raised over the last few months, and in order to check the latest details about the recycling schemes due to take effect early next year the council are running road shows at various locations.

There will be opportunities to touch and feel the new containers and talk to council officers (be sure you get that in the right order!) about the scheme.



The events are as follows:



Nonsuch Park: Sat 11 Oct 10am – 3pm



Sainsbury’s car park, Kiln Lane Mon 13 Oct to Fri 17 Oct 10am – 3pm



The Vale Primary School car park, Langley Vale Sat 18 Oct 10am – 3pm



Epsom Downs – Upper Tattenhams car park Sun 19 Oct 10am – 1pm



Bourne Hall – Rose Room Wed 22 Oct 10am – 3pm



Ewell Court House Fri 24 Oct 10am – 3pm



The Ebbisham Centre Tues 28 Oct 10am – 5pm



Horton Park Children’s Farm Wed 29 Oct 10am – 5pm



The Ashley Shopping Centre Fri 31 Oct 10am – 5pm



The Farmer’s Market, Market Square Sun 2 Nov 8am – 2pm

How much is this going to cost the ratepayers both financially and in time and effort?

Surely it can't be any worse than your half-baked solution to vegetation recycling? Every weekday there is a queue of traffic to enter the Longmead Depot with cars loaded full with plastic bags containing cut vegetation. Have you calculated how much damage this is doing to the environment through extra gas emissions from all these additional car journeys, and the several bins of plastic bags collected daily that need re-cycling? And if you accidentally drop any vegetation on the ground, there is a very unfriendly council ‘Neanderthal’ scrutinising your every move to ensure you pick it up and dispose of it correctly!

Is it any wonder that many residents are now choosing the easier option and taking their cut vegetation and dumping under cover of darkness along the banks of the River Hogsmill?

Far too logical for EEBC to adopt the common sense approach and just request vegetation to be bagged up in bags of a certain colour and collected as part of the weekly refuse collection, so that vegetation can be easily separated from the other rubbish back at your depot. No money for you in adopting that approach is there?
