Wheelie bins
So the Brains of Hounslow suggest the imposition of Wheelie Bins will save ££££££sQuite how is quite beyond me.How a saving can be made when these things cost to purchase, have a durability life of just a few years before they go brittle and look hideous1. Cost of the units and short life per cost per year.2.Black bags are paid for by residents not the council.3. Where do you store one in small terraced streets for example, when it is is impossible to keep even a bicycle.?4. If plonked outside like in Fulham the stench from just one unkempt bin lingers along the whole street and leave the view out of the front window obcured and darkens the front room.5. Cannot be moved easily in tightly parked streets meaning longer collection times and thus increases in fuel and operating costs.6. Streets will still need to be cleaned afterwards as spillages remain the same.7. Those with more extreme anti social habits seem to delight in depositing in these.8. Hugely unsightly especially in areas where multiple dwellings negate any form of stowage space or rented accommodation and lack of civic pride prevails.9. These things litter some streets for a full 24 hours making pavements hazardous to visually challenge and wheelchair users10. Vehicles are damaged regularly by them being mishandled or misused.11. Cost of conversion and extra depreciation on vehicles plus increase in CO2 footprint by plant.The cost of insurance claims, capital expenditure, time lost, fuel wasted, make this quite bonkers.Fine for streets with Driveways and side access or rear access but what about the smaller streets and those with none of those features?
