point taken SOOZE, not trying to be smug but if you are trying to say that kintyre recycling can`t recycle all of what DAFT DOG says then you have been totally misled,as concern to the recycling market KINTYRE RECYLING pass on all the recylate to the major handlers to the extent of 70+ tons per month, with a hopefull 800+ tons for this coming year not bad coming out of Kintyre,when the time comes that the council want to go down the route of seperate bins i`m sure kintyre recyling will keep them right as they will still be the ones having to deal with it. :wink:

If they're that good at it how come their predecessor, Campbeltown Wastewatchers, went bankrupt despite thousands of pounds of grant money being poured into them?

Why should the tax-payer assume that Kintyre Recycling will do any better?

fair and valid point BEACHCOMBER, but i still think they do a good service on behalf of the local authority.

I have never disputed the valuable work already done in recycling here and always make a point of using it and advertising how good it is for the amount they can do, when I can, but if the council want to change to a fortnightly service THEY (A&B) need to make sure that the recycling is adequate for everyone and not leave the voluntary sector, who are struggling, regardless of the reasons, to cope. When waste watchers started to recycle office waste (paper etc) the council were quick enough to supply (at a cost) red, white, and green bags.
