Doesn't take a genius to scale it up for a tower block type place... Large commercial bins for all three options.
Tower blocks have rubbish chutes the residents just dump everything down
retro-fitting 2 or 3 additional chutes for cardboard, glass, metal or whatever to old buildings is not workable in many cases.
and if it was, that doesn't mean people would put things down the correct chute, much like people don't put things in the right bins ,either through stupidity or laziness
...and that is the problem Dave
That is what the council guy and I will be looking into. There is not enough space around the base of many blocks for the bulk waste bins normally supplied. So, we have already agreed that there has to be a separate recycling bulk bins - each for glass, metal, cardboard, plastic - area away from the blocks - say one site for 3-4 blocks. But that is a cost that may not be able to be covered by the selling of the recyclable material. In addition there is that human nature issue....................................!! To persuade residents to walk with their separated recycling, let alone them separating in the process is a very real issue.
On the face of it that is why the waste contractor, around Ashford it is Biffa, simply takes everything collected from the many blocks of flats and apartments to the incinerator. It is a very real issue that somehow has a solution!
