Recycling

An enormous amount of clothing and blankets and shoes are left on site each night by refugees who are moving on. These are cleared up and bagged, sadly together with the rubbish. My job today was to sort the contents of the bags between rubbish and recycling. Not nice.

The cost of recycling through the commercial laundry is not cheap, reputedly E24,000 a month. It would be awful to throw everything away. Washed clothes are given out to refugees with wet clothed. Recycled shoes are less sUccessfuThere.

Everything else is put out for rubbish. There must be one hundred bags waiting for the bin men, who will only take the contents of the wheely bin. The cost to the local authority is huge.

This is big problem.
