Recycling Centre

In my blip of 13th July, dfb24 asked what the large square bundles were.

They were bundles of cardboard waiting to be collected and loaded onto a ship to go to an unknown destination (likely China, one woman made her fortune by shipping the packaging waste from fast food outlets in the USA to China for recycling… what vision!) for recycling.

This is one of the workshops around the corner from "Bulldogs" where cardboard and many other items are prepared for collection and shipping.

Locals turn up to the centre with their bags of plastic bottles, aluminium cans and paper etc. "rescued" from street bins and other places. All sorting is done by hand, paper and cardboard is sprayed with water to make it easier to make the nice neat bundles.
