Carnegie reads that recycling rates in Fife broke through the 40% barrier between April and September with more than 56,000 tonnes of waste recycled or composted. Amongst this were: 18.000 tonnes of garden waste, 12,000 tonnes of paper and 4,000 tonnes of glass, giving a recycling rate of 41.8% for the Kingdom.
But Carnegie would question how much more scope there is for Fifers to recycle in the areas where two weekly bin collections have been introduced without Fife Council making much more readily available facilities for recycling materials not bearing recycling logos like specialised packaging.
While they are at it they might also want to give some thought to helping those like the elderly or those suffering from poor health, who can't always get ready access to cars to transport their recycling to recycling points. Oh and how about a Council tax rebate for the poor council taxpayers who like Carnegie are probably spending scores of hours of their own time every year recycling materials that would previously have been collected and sorted by Fife Council itself?
