Council should sell off reusables
I rang RMBC today and suggested they set up a little shop in a portakabin to sell off anything that could be reused, but got the mandatory “we will look into it”.
It would be win, win all around if the council took up my suggestion as follows:

Hide Ad1) The council would have a new revenue stream from the shop
2) It would create a job at the tip, paid for by the cost of what they sold off
3) There would be less items to clog landfill and
4) I would have something to fill the lonely winter nights.
No doubt this will fall on deaf ears, but I know that other towns in the country run a shop like this, to great success.
