I am always amazed when I visit any Spanish speaking countries that their attitude to rubbish is so simple. It doesn't matter if we visit Spain or the Canaries their rubbish collection is so elementary. Let me enlighten you! When you have rubbish then you bag it up and when you leave the house/flat/penthouse then you get yourself down to the local depository and dump it!
These depositories are aligned along the main streets and are so easy to locate that they cannot be missed. It is the responsibility of the individual to bag and throw their own rubbish! The bins are regularly emptied overnight so it is never a problem.
OK then why can we never adopt this system in this country? The reason is of course that we do not have people with the vision or the enterprise to adopt the system. It would of course not bring in the revenue that the hideous, complex, government driven English system demands.
It can only be time before the Spanish system is adopted unless we get another dose of Gorgon Brown! AAAgh!

Rubbish or Garbage!
The Daily Mail is campaigning against the wheely bin expolsion on our streets. They are indeed a monstrosity which are actually unnecessary. I cannot believe that our local councils are making this such an issue. I suppose that it is because they are only really responsible for waste collection. Everything else is now the responsibility of Westmonster or Brussels.
So what do we get for our money? We have to sort out our own rubbish. We have to decide which coloured bags contain which items and if we are wrong then we could be charged under some obscure offense which the NoLab government has introduced to gain more money.
Why can't we do what they do in Spain or the Canary Islands? It is so quick, clean and effective. They have public collection points at the end of each street. Everyone bags up their rubbish and then delivers it personally to the collection point. Everyone knows their responsibility. It is easy! It is so easy that our local councils cannot introduce it probably because it would rob them of income.
By the way the rubbish 'banks' are cleared out overnight, silently and effectively. So, so, simple and yet beyond the comprehension of our authorities. Destroy the wheelie bin and then make the citizen responsible for the delivery of their own rubbish.
