Wheelie Bins Are Revolting!

and so are the folks that use them, public anger has stunned the ministers and council chiefs responsible for inflicting the plastic monstrosities on millions of front gardens and streets, yesterday, residents in Solihull, West Midlands, were the latest to join the protest after their local council announced it would introduce wheelie bins from September, the thing is some homes, depending where you live, have up to 5 of theses things per house, tree hugging councils gone totally and utterly mad and not even listening to the advice of the recycling industry, 'We are not against wheelie bins,' said Phil Hurst, of the industry sponsored pressure group the Campaign for Real Recycling, 'The best system is where you have small boxes - say one for paper and textiles and another for plastic, glass and tin,' Mr Hurst added. 'You don't need five, two will do.' Bob Neill MP, Tory spokesman for local government, said: 'It is clear that an unelected Whitehall bin quango has been cajoling town halls into curtailing the frequency and scope of local rubbish collections,' but there is an end to all of this if only councils would follow the lead set by the people and council of Southend-on-Sea, they have never felt the need for wheelie bins, instead, they have always used black plastic bags, despite this, the Essex borough's 160,000 residents still manage to recycle 40 per cent of their household waste, and this is the good bit, it is a figure of which the Tory-led council is understandably proud - and it is higher than nearby authorities which demand their homeowners have wheelie bins, a new slogan is echoing up and down the country, "ban the bins!"
