Boring but important message from the council1. We don't want any more excuses for the recycling not to work!
Shepway Council is renewing its message to people across the district to help its recycling efforts by only putting out items listed on the black box or blue bag.
The black boxes are for glass, tins and cans, and plastic bottles only. The blue bag is for paper and cardboard... some people are putting out items that cannot be collected and recycled including plastic trays and packaging, cardboard drink cartons and broken glass.
This is part of my website The FG that I set up in a fury of excitement when I first came here sometime in 2004. I'd been a frequent visitor for a while previous to that so I am technically one of those DFLs you get nowadays. The site was a lot more dynamic with a calendar of events + voting for favourite places and things, and I know it was a useful resource for those who were moving here. Now I've moved out of Folkestone again (though only to Hythe) it doesn't get as much attention as it used to. Ironic really as The town is now becoming the exciting place we knew it was just about to. My name is not Gerald by the way, the name comes from a pretend newspaper in an episode of The Day Today or something, the Portsmouth Gerald, and how there is a local newspaper here called the Folkestone Herald. Puns like this are GRATE aren't they? Do contact me if you have something to contribute, email anythign @ this domain, or try @folkestone or @pauly on the twitter.
