Recycle
Ive watched the recycle man struggle with some bins, and had to leave others ... please remember its a man that lifts that overly full glass bin, hes not a machine, they dont have to take overfull bins for OSH reasons ... also dont put cans in a cardboard box into plastics/cans bin ... another thing, especially on our road and alot of others, theres cars parked on roadside of a non-parking road, the man cant get close let alone the truck, and totally blocks the road ... dont park on the road, park on your grassed area if you must, they need the truck to get close to the wheelie bins to pick them up and empty
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
