Government incompetenence

The nine-bin nightmare: Families forced to follow green zealots' new recycling diktatsRead more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1268377/Families-forced-follow-green-zealots-new-recycling-diktats.html#ixzz0m2tOphAb

A comparison between government madness and a private enterprise solution. Here in my home town in northern California we have a three can system. One each for recyclables (all), yard waste and garbage. The recyclables use a single stream system where the paper, corrugated, bottles and cans are separated at the waste removal company facility. It's easy efficient and not a burden. The government could not think of anything as simple and efficient because they are trying to shift as much of the cost to the homeowner as possible.
I could just image the mess of putting out food waste in that dinky little container in an area like ours populated by raccoons, possum, coyotes, etc. Yuck
