Here we go again................. OR Going round in circles
Posted: Thursday, 12 April 2007 |
Well, it's Thursday and we have to wait until next Wednesday until the bin's are emptied and guess what? The village waste disposal point is overflowing and it is only April. Look at the pictures from my first post in September last year. I will post some more pictures over the weekend when the situation is really bad.
Looks like the rats are going to have a great year this year.
Amazing how many people appear with a bit of sunshine, I'm not moaning about that. Without visitors to Jura my business would not exist, as we are totally dependent on tourism. Funny how Argyll and Bute Council do not seem to appreciate the value of tourists because they will not provide waste facilities for them and in fact, would be very happy if the tourist's took their rubbish home with them. That was a quote from a senior manager at A&B Council to myself over the telephone.
I am already noticing the odd black bag of rubbish being dumped in ditches on the way to the ferry, the bin men will not stop and pick it up because it isn't in a wheelie bin and I'm not picking it up because I pay council tax for waste disposal and I'm not doing their job for them.
As the season has not really started yet GOD HELP US when it does.
I'd better charge up the camera because I feel that I'm going to be very busy this year taking pictures of all the waste that will be dumped due to A&B cutting back on collections. If the two weekly collections continue then the place is going to look like a landfill site and the tourists are going to stop coming because they will not want to look at a rubbish dump.
Pictures to follow.
