That's about the correct level of waste and a good but realistic example.      Report

SNOT RAGS WAIT TO BE COLLECTED FOR UP TO TWO WEEKS How the plant will look DAN GRIMMER 26 May 2009 07:00 The award of a contract to build a recycling plant to tackle Norfolk's waste mountain has been delayed yet again, but council bosses insist they are still confident of slashing landfill and avoiding massive fines. For the third time this year, Norfolk County Council has put back the date when the award of a major contract to deal with the county's waste will be rubber-stamped. The county council cabinet had been due in January to agree what is known as Contract A - for Sustainable Resource Management (SRM), a company owned by Norfolk Environmental Waste Services (NEWS), to build a Mechanical Biological Treatment (MBT) plant at Costessey. That plant would deal with 150,000 tonnes of waste produced in and around Norwich and help the county council meet binding European targets on reducing landfill waste by 2012. But the award of the contract, which had already been put back to April, then July, has now slipped to September, as councils come to terms with the effects of the recession on their finances. A spokeswoman for Norfolk County Council said: “The decision has been put back to September on the forward plan and this is very much in common with other similar waste projects around the country where the complicated negotiations surrounding a contract of this nature are taking longer than originally anticipated - in part because of the current economic climate. “In relation to the prospect of fines in 2012, we are expecting to comply with our targets. Norfolk has never failed to meet its targets to date.” The MBT would strip out recyclable waste for recycling and break down degradable waste such as kitchen and garden refuse to produce compost and gas which can be used to produce electricity. The plans for the plant came about following a campaign led by the Evening News to stop a giant incinerator from being built in Costessey. At first Waste Recycling Group (WRG) wanted to build it in Costessey, but when it could not get the land, it switched its attention to a sewage works site near Kirby Bedon. But members of Norfolk County Council's residual waste treatment board instead backed the proposal by SRM to build the more environmentally friendly MBT plant. The council is also progressing Contract B, which will tackle waste in the rest of the county. A site has been identified near King's Lynn.    Report

Nothing to do with bin collections, basic bin cleanliness from yourself, leaving food  and stuff in the bottom.. Boiling water /weak bleach/vinegar sorts it. Thats the case whether 7 or 14 days collection as maggots hatch and migrate even under 7 days. Especially if you've but a dead cat or pigeon corpse in the bottom of your bin. Myself and others have been on AWC without a problem for several years.  Don't put them in the fridge, thats a Mad idea; unless you wish to take them fishing and teach them how to swim as fishfood.    Report

Maggots love rancid uncooked meat, they don't go for fruit n veg. Makes one wonder about fly access. Never had maggots in the bin, lid down keeps the flies out.    Report

SNOT RAGS WAIT TO BE COLLECTED FOR UP TO TWO WEEKS. If you want an extra £35 on your council tax, follow mads nutty advice to vote extreme racist and nutty politicans in like 1933 in Germany. My advice, vote sensibly on MEPs wanting weekly food waste collections. Vote Nulabour out because they deserve it on the economy, terrorising local folk with incinerators,MPs troughin fiddles, Iraq and have stalled on weekly food collections. Want a real solution to waste; vote for a MEP offering cost neutral weekly food collections via small kitchen caddles. Clue it ain't NuLabour, UKIP, BNP.. Some of these bins are actually designed for monthly restwaste in parts of German. 2 weeks is the right restwaste length proven over several years in councils like South Norfolk, North Norfolk and Broadland, all Tory run councils. Ironmad is fooling you folks for his own weird DailyMadRag agenda thats going nowhere. Anyway, waste figures are down up to 10-30% in some councils since the beginning of 2009, so double reason not to through money into extra needless weekly wasteful collections. http://www.independent.co.uk/environment/green-living/waste-not-recession-leads-to-big-drop-in-amount-of-rubbish-we-are-throwing-away-1682289.html        Report

Mad you didn't get a rebate because contracturally this was never possible. The rebate to the puplic was an extra wheely bin recycling collection 26x per year, with the existing 60l green box collection being converted to a glass collection as glass contaminates other recycled material. Can't see what you're whinging about mad, there nowt value addition in service in what your proposing. If you cut recycling bin to afford extra weekly bin, you will need to built 2x expensive PFI subsidised residual treatment capacity to deal with disposal or pay massive fines for doubling crap going to landfill disposal.

Anti EU somantics gets the UK nowhere on waste. What is needed is a closed loop near self sufficient waste, energy, resource multi layered effect which involves recycling, composting of organics for farmland and non burner advanced Combined Heat and Power technology to clear up the bits and pieces. No landfilling of green fields, no skyfilling of peoples lungs and no inefficient expensive weekly black bag collections to nowhere and no use to anyone. Call for weekly DailyMad crap collections nutty ill thought blah blah with merely sink the country quicker in a faster downward spiral.    Report
