WE had a good recycling program here in Newcastle, where twice a year those with waste would put it out and those in need would take it away. I would say that at least 50per cent of this waste was recycled thus. Now Newcastle City Council has decided to cease this program, which will mean more waste going to the dump.
Surely this is madness. Many will find it easier to take it out to the bush and dump it. How many families that are battling have furnished their homes through the kerbside waste program? I suppose the charities will be getting more dumped at their bins as well. We received a flyer in the mail box telling us that the collection is now stopped and the council will let us know more about it next month. What next?
