So it seems if we not wasting energy melting down plastics and polluting our own air we ship off our recycling to other countries to go in their landfills. I don't want to be part of this awfull business. Recycling is not good for the environment http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2304773/The-great-recycling-trick-How-carefully-sorted-waste-dumped-abroad.html

This is the Daily Wail, so treat the info with some care. But, assuming the figures are correct, the UK produces over 330m tonnes of rubbish a year. So your 'problem' is just 3.6% of total.


I don't think that's worth getting to het up about. Especially as they are looking to fix the issue.

'Recycling is not good for the environment'.???


I don't know what brought you to that conclusion. The article you referenced only said that there was evidence of fraud in some elements of the processing chain.


To leap from that to saying 'recycling is not good for the environment' is the same as saying 'eating is not good for you' because there's a couple of dodgy restaurants in Peckham.


It's nonsense.

    • Yes, it would be great to see them nationalised. Along with the other water companies they seem to have a great business model: -submit a 5 year plan to the regulator asking for yearly price increases to cover the cost of improving the infrastructure and get them to approve it - carry on paying handsome dividends to shareholders and eye watering salaries to senior executives  - fail to achieve the infrastructure targets at the end of the five years, make some excuses and draw up the next plan Magic!     
    • Avoid KFH. Agree with other comments that it is best to talk to lots of people.  Also, (not particularly related to the above agent), I wish I had read the reviews a lot more, rather than relying on numbers.  Depending on whether you are renting, letting, selling or buying the reviews often differ a lot depending on the relationship you have with the agent and it is worth checking whether the good/bad reviews match your situation.  
    • How about a thick cork mat?
