So...this is the predictable result of all that panic buying and stockpiling:
"A quote from a refuse collector:
“In the past 2 weeks, we have seen a 30% increase in Food Waste collected from households, the additional weight is mainly fresh food that has gone out of date and was never even touched, some still in wrappers. Refuse and Recycling tonnages are on a par with post Christmas collections.
That's the shameful and selfish truth of panic buying.”
And all at a time when Local Authorities are going to seriously struggle to make as many collections or collections on time due to staff shortages. The sites that handle it are also closing down and running at reduced capcity.
At a time when there are those in this country, including those who are working to save the lives of those who are becoming ill, who are genuinely struggling to put food on the table. As well as those who are isolating and cant get food delivery slots from Supermarkets for love nor money.
Food waste is pretty abhorrent at the best of times, but I hope those who now have overflowing bins full of rotting food waste are made sick by the stench and their homes are invaded by pests and vermin that will be attracted to it....you selfish, shameful f**ktards.
Yet another shameful example.of people unable or uncaring about the consequences of their actions...take some responsibility for your impact you tw@ts!
As the Stranglers once said...Something better change.
