Review of Gloucester City Council

Changed our bin week without even telling us. Than...

Changed our bin week without even telling us. Thanks for that GCC! Tells us to sort the recycling into separate boxes (good idea you might think?) but doesn't actually provide anything to sort it into, so then of course refuses to take it. I was then told...."that's your problem love!" What do they actually want you to put it into? Our own huge plastic bags that will blow away and cause huge problems to the environment, wildlife etc??? I now have several weeks of carefully washed and sorted recycling that I can't actually dispose of unless I take it to the tip myself. Thanks for that GCC...is this going to go on forever? Maybe the whole idea is that they won't actually have to recycle anymore because it isn't even being collected! This council does the very least they can possibly get away with for recycling. So much less than other places I have lived. It makes me so cross that so many people do everything they can to help our environment but GCC does just what it can get away with and absolutely no more! Thanks GCC! Appalling and I would not recommend this council to anyone....unfortunately we still have to pay a lot of money for this appalling service. This is what happens when everything gets sold off and privatised.
