Yes this would be preferable but the council have said they won't enter the yard to take recycling (which is the obvious solution for all involved). As Hugh says this problem affects us all and is easily solvable if the council could provide us with the bins we've asked (and paid) for! As far as I know all the rubbish put out by residents is all recycling (although as you said it attracts more rubbish which might not be) as, due to the council not giving us bins, we've been forced to hire private contractors to pick up our regular refuse.
From what I've read, it sounds like there's a real problem here that's affecting both Omega Works residents and other Hermitage Road residents in different ways. I do hope that a solution can be brokered that will make life easier for all.
I can completely understand your frustration, Jenny. I think both you and the Omega residents have a right to a speedy answer and an equally speedy resolution.
I have had an email from Veolia today to say that the rubbish has been cleared. No mention of how they are going to manage the situation in the future and I am pressing them on that.
Take control of it. Forget the council. Forget paying other people to deal with it. DO IT YOURSELFS.
put up signs, get some bins, made local residents accountable.
The quicker we stop passing the buck, the quicker we can create real, strong communities and take up our own responsibilities.
Ain't you bored of the council treating you like kids, yet?
And when it happens again tomorrow and the day after . . . and . . . all next week?
Some problems need to be understood and prevented upstream
Here is an update on the situation.
The Neighbourhood Action Officer for Seven Sisters ward has been liaising with the managing agents for Majorlink (one of the two freeholders that occupy the site) in an attempt to resolve the ongoing waste problems. Majorlink have identified which units within the site they are responsible for and informed the council that they have provided waste bins (4 x 1100 bins) for their tenants. In addition the council has provided 1100 recycling bins for tenants to use.
11 units are registered for council tax and 5 are not - those that are are entitled to a level of domestic waste collection and the could feel the installation of 1100 bins would be beneficial and they are exploring this with the managing agents. The other 5 units have their own waste management arrangements in place but these are probably not adequate and the council is reviewing this. I am not sure about the council tax situation but will follow that up.
Please keep me updated with the situation and I will continue to chase the council of this.
Take it to the place where it was meant to go....See Viola (and for driving the point home, put it outside their offices).
You want a hand? :)
