After spending a session at Shoreham tip on Saturday I am amazed and astounded at people's laziness and ignorance.
When you drive in, it is clearly marked on a sign what items are recyclable and the percentage of all waste recycled in the past month (which sadly was only eight per cent).
There are several skips - all marked - for paper, cardboard, garden waste, wood, metal and general household.
While I was there, I saw five different people dump everything they had into the household skip - including paper, cardboard and wood.
I pointed out to two of them "there's a cardboard skip down the end" to which they replied "Oh, is there?"
Are people really that lazy or ignorant - or is it they just can't be asked? What a sad state of affairs it is that people obviously do not care.
