Alcoholic Detritus, West Pontnewydd, Cwmbran 10 July 2018
Perhaps an indication of what is going wrong with our society today. Two recycling boxes outside a house “somewhere in West Pontnewydd”, overflowing with mainly, strong lager and cider cans. Probably bought cheaply in “slabs” from a supermarket for excessive consumption at home. I’m not a kill-joy, but in my opinion this is a rather large quantity for one house even if there has been a barbecue/party. It is my belief we should return to pubs and off licenses only, allowed to sell alcohol, definitely not the supermarkets.
And incidentally, despite the local council providing nets to retain recyclable rubbish in the boxes, few people bother to use them. Thus, cans and bottles fall off and roll around the streets with no one bothering to bend their backs to pick them up - not even the council recycling crews. In bad weather these boxes can be emptied by the wind, the contents scattered far and wide turning streets into landfill sites. But the council insists on clinging to inefficient and messy roadside recycling.
