So there's new legislation about workplace recycling. The impact on PD is not yet formal (it's a "microfirm" so has until 2027) but Steps Are Being Taken to get crew at least to start getting used to separating out food waste from everything else.

To which end we printed and laminated a bunch of signs emphasising FOOD WASTE ONLY, followed by a list of further instructions including NO GARDEN WASTE.

I have been giggling to myself about how arbitrary and inconsistent that distinction in particular is all week.

I don't know how they plan to police/enforce it, but the reason given was that once it's in the house, it might be contaminated with salmonella (for example), and therefore needs more careful handling by those collecting refuse than garden waste.

Or something to that effect. 🤷

... I am not sure that makes it better...
