One of the things we’re keen to do in the office is recycle; got to do your bit for the environment! Now, you’d think that might be simple to sort out - call the council, ask for some recycling bins, bins arrive, recycling begins. Simple.

You’d think that, but you’d be wrong.

A few minutes ago we called Westminster council and spoke to a lovely chap called James who advised us that they do not provide commercial recycling facilities because they are currently running at capacity. Oh dear we thought. But ah, can’t we just use the recycling points dotted around Westminster? I mean, we don’t mind travelling a little bit. Apparently not.

You see the recycling points dotted around the place are for public use, not for businesses, and according to James (who wouldn’t provide a list of where they’re located) we’ll be fined if we’re ever caught doing our bit for the environment using them.
