Recycling and waste collections

How are everyone's collections going?  They will have to buck their ideas up - it's occurred to me that if the authorities come to their senses and close the pubs etc, there is going to be a lot more home drinking going on, and consequently even more bottles and cans than usual.  Waste collection is so important (I spotted a rat in the next street the other day) - perhaps they should be classified as key workers?

*recyclingbanKs* of course.Here's where they are listed:https://www.ealing.gov.uk/directory/29/neighbourhood_recycling_sitesJust as you do with your recycling bin or recycling box flattening the cardboard and large plastic bottles and cans makes a huge difference in reducing the volume of your recycling.It allows more people to use the banks and reduces the number of necessary collections.Please report full recycling banks so that the next time someone wants to use it there is space available - it just might be you or yours!There is a function for reporting on the 24/7 Report it Online section on the website entitled "Report a problem with a recycling site/bank"There are some banks at the Recycling Centres but you would need to check that they are open.  (I noticed that Space Waye in LBH was closed to householders the other day as they needed to redeploy staff elsewhere because of the current Covid-19 situation.)

There are on-street recycling bans as well.  Please flatten cans so that they won't roll and more people can use the banks and they don't have to be emptied so often.
