Now as some of you are aware, I have been very lucky with my local recycling centre. It is privately run by Donarbon contracted to the local council.
Something has gone wrong at Donarbon, the paranoia has kicked in resulting in a clamp down on ALL sales.
Cameras, with numberplate recognition software, are to be installed on all of their sites within the next few months. ALL materials brought in are to be solely processed by Donarbon. No more sales by individual sites of their copper, aluminium etc. No more bric-a-brac sales, no more bikes, nothing, zero.
Anyone deemed to be using the site too often (numberplate recognition) will be reported so even if you have a large wall to take down and need 4 trips, your details will be logged.
The site manager is angry, the site owner is angry, they made their money from sales. The site made a profit and kept the employees on a good wage over and above the basic salary they were paid. All that will stop and the site managers workload will double with all the extra paper work.
Every item that comes into the site will be processed by Donarbon, bikes will be either crushed or palletised and sent to Africa, no matter what their worth. Valuable electronics will be crushed and processed.
Nothing will be re-used or recycled in an environmentally friendly way, just processed and remanufactured.
There is nothing 'green' about that. 'Re-use' is far more friendly to the environment than any so called recycling.
So, theres a few weeks left and after that, its back to car boot sales. I'll miss it but thats the way the world works.
Thinking about it its the same as the car scrappage scheme, 1000's of perfectly useable cars left to rot while they cant even be stripped for spares...
