I thought it was a matter of course, and I recycled my kitchen waste already prior to the council program.

However, I do not agree with the current council program.

In my opinion there is plenty of spare capacity in the green bin to accommodate the organic kitchen waste at a fortnightly collection rate, and I am absolutely puzzled what that has to do with increasing the collection rate of the yellow bin to weekly.

The result is that we have now five trucks per fortnight going through our village rather than three, that does not sound very "green" to me.

I am sure Gavin McDonall is genuine with his praise for the program, but I am also sure that he is one of very few in Minnamurra that does support it. I don't know of anyone else.
