Perhaps residents would feel more positive about recycling if the local authority and its employees set a better example.

I regularly put out the black box filled with paper but after the collection I still find some of the paper still in the box.

Also the recent collection of Christmas trees saw some of the trees ignored by the collectors, and eventually the wind left them blocking pavements etc.

The staff on these collections seem unmotivated by their role, or perhaps by their employer.
