Finally made it to recycle my cardboard...

Well after getting the information needed from the council, I finally made it to the supermarket recycling point at East Didsbury/Parswood - the nearest one to Withington.

Whilst, it's only a trial and it was xmas I was pretty disappointed to find the 2 large cardboard skips overflowing.

It's a difficult time of the year to keep these services running, but looking at the boxes it looked mostly like xmas presents and large consumer goods boxes. I'd imagine that it was reasonably predictable that their would be an increase in demand over xmas.

On the other hand, at least this shows that their is demand to recycle cardboard, and a reasonable degree of awareness that it can now be done.

Hopefully soon, we'll be able to get cardboard recycled from our own homes paper bins.
