I have been in touch with Hounslow and local elected officers for years on this subject. Harnage house should be the first and best collected in the town. Its right outside where a councillor lives. I know all bins should be emptied, but if you want brownie points? I live in Netley Rd and my five bins are a joke, yes there were emptied yesterday after five weeks. I watched the five bins full of paper, glass and cans which all were full of one weeks recycling ( the other four have gone in landfill) being tipped in to a refuse lorry as they were contaminated with house hold rubbish. The problems are, No weekly collections. The bins are years old with notices which are only in English which state no plastic but full of the stuff. The locks are gone so the frame can be lifted ans anything is dumped in them. A major issue is that no one checks them. When I first brought this to Matt Harmers attention a few years ago he had to get local residents to monitor the bins. When I got Mrs Cadburys attention a council officer said he would get a person out to check six weeks later. Hounslow pay a contractor to remove the recycling the council then get paid for the amount of recycling. With this not happing Hounslow is losing a lot of money plus still paying for the extra in landfill  costs. No wonder the leader of Hounslow council say our total weight of recycling has gone down as most of the community collections end up in landfill. Thank you for bring the subject up as I thought I was the only one banging my head against the wall. I stopped contacting Hounslow nearly a year ago as no one did any thing about it. Unless you involved an elected person.
