One of the aspects of the forthcoming “Brexit” event which is getting the world of waste management busy and excited is the understanding that after 29th March, That Europe will no longer welcome shiploads of British-generated refuse. We will have to manage it all by ourselves.
And so those of us in waste management are scurrying around like rats trying to ascertain which of our previously closed-and-restored landfill sites should best be re-opened.

My understanding of the referendum result is that a percentage of those who voted to leave did so because they wanted to rid our shores of “foreign migrants”.

Here is the list of the family names of ALL of the qualified Emergency Safety Personnel (fire wardens and first aiders) at one of our Home Counties Materials Recovery Facilities;
Baikstis, Blonski, Dabrowski, Huesco, Ketenis, Kowalski, Malmur, Paczewska, Paczewski, Samowski, Sienkiewicz, Stefan, Szumlanski and Roldão

So when the “Leavers” get their dream and all of these busy people are forcibly repatriated, will the “Leavers” jump at the chance to grab these secure and important jobs, don specialist garbage gloves and stand all day at a conveyor belt picking out recyclable material (broken glass) from non-recyclable but otherwise useful material (dog shit)?
Or not? In which case it will perhaps all end up being dumped unsorted into landfill.
