More UK statist idiots: Residents sort rubbish into boxes... then it's all dumped in together

Many have long suspected their diligent recycling may not actually be worth the effort.

And these extraordinary pictures seem to back up their very fears.

Residents of this cul-de-sac had clearly taken the time to sort their glass, cans, plastic and paper recycling into separate boxes.

The scheme was brought in last summer when the council in Croydon, South London, introduced fortnightly collections.

So residents were understandably furious when a binman tipped the recycling box contents into a wheelie bin which was then dumped into the back of a dustcart.

And to add insult to injury, the vehicle boasted a sign stating: 'My next stop is landfill! Think before you throw.'

The shocking sequence was caught on camera by Darren Bagshaw, 37, who claims the binmen have carried out the same routine for the past three months.

Mr Bagshaw said: 'Regardless of their excuses we are still forced to make sure that we separate our rubbish.

"It takes a lot of time and it makes me really mad to think that it's pointless.

'Why on earth should we bother to do it when they just lump it all together again?

'It stinks of hypocrisy just like our bins stink in the summer because the council insists on fortnightly collections.'

Mr Bagshaw, a photographer, and his photography student girlfriend Charlotte Shaw, used to have their rubbish collected by a lorry with separate compartments for different waste and recycling.

They initially assumed the new system was a one-off but complained after it went on for months.

Last night Doretta Cocks, from the Campaign for Weekly Waste Collection, insisted: 'At the very least the council is setting a bad example.

'It has imposed fortnightly collections but it clearly can't properly deal with them, whilst expecting householders to abide by their rules for no apparent reason.'
