Leeds. Some may say the cultural, financial and commercial heart of the wider West Yorkshire Urban Area. Others (wrongly) think that this could be Halifax.
Others remember it for its shopping, its glorious parks on a summer's day, or possibly the heckling students throwing waterbombs at unsuspecting bypassers who have no access to a hairdryer before their impending interview.
Or perhaps more so for the ill-ease which is felt every time a plastic is recycled without prior checking of the plastic number which is so significant for the Leeds City Council to provide a proper service to us faithful Council Tax payers.
Obviously this isn't taking into account the three months that the streets of Leeds were parralleling London in 1665, and what a year that was.
To make it easier for the poor folk of Leeds I thought I would take it upon myself to clearly state what can and cannot be put into your green bin. 1, 2 and 4 are OK, and are mostly welcomed however 3 & 5 must not, under any circumstances (being hungover is not an excuse), be put in for recycling or the whole of Leeds will come to a grinding halt. See below for what is unacceptable in this beautiful city that we reside in:
3 - PVC - Polyvinyl Chloride
This stuff is everywhere (handy that, for Leodensians) - pipes, toys, furniture, packaging. Difficult to recycle and PVC is a major environmental and health threat. Fortunately, people into BDSM probably won't be recycling their wares often. Phew.
5 - PP - Polypropylene
Clothing, bottles, tubs and ropes. It can also be used to make sledges, perhaps if LCC had cottoned onto this some time ago there wouldn't be such a dreadful shortage of them. Sledge envy can lead to terrible things...
Over and out.
