A glossy leaflet being hand delivered to every door in the Borough by Walsall Council giving advanced notice of changes to the recycling and rubbish collection service isn’t worth the paper it’s written on reports Lib Dem councillor Ian Shires.
The leaflet says it has “important information” telling residents what can be recycled and in which bin following the introduction of the new “half size” rubbish bins in the new year.
What the leaflet doesn’t say is that the list only gives the “headline” information. The full list of recyclables will go out with a further information pack and will also be shown on the council’s website.
The “advanced notice” leaflet is already causing some confusion. The Lib Dem Focus Teams across Willenhall have already received numerous phone calls and enquiries about just what can and can’t be recycled when the new system comes into force.
“What a waste of time and money” said Lib Dem cllr Ian Shires. “One information pack giving full details was all that was needed. No wonder the service has such a poor reputation.” he added.
