No. Why would you (get a discount on your council tax that is - not to arrange to dispose of our own rubbish which surely would be encouraged.) Your council tax goes towards paying for local services such as schools, roads etc. Not just refuse collecting. It's like phoning the BBC and asking for a discount on your TV licence because you don't watch BBC Four.

Drugs and Alcohol tests for Councillors

Probably about the same as our councillors... Now, if we can get rid of both..... You can "get rid of them" every five years. Are you not happy with your Councillors, if so have you approached them with your issues? Or just anonymously on Shetlink?

I think people sometimes forget there are over 5,100 wheelie bins in circulation already in Shetland, the essy kert men and women are well used to working with them. Funny that despite over 5k bins already being used in Shetland, suddenly only NOW is the wind thought to be an issue.

Did ya not just report them as lost property to the police then? You actually accepted delivery of them? I didn't accept delivery of them. They were left outside the house and they're still sitting there. They've been delivered to you, you know they are there, if they blow away into someone elses property because you've been too childish to do anything with them you will be liable and you've done so publicly on the internet. You dozy, childish pillock.

I do the same, Space. I will happily pick up a bit of this and that and, yes, people should stop chucking so much poison, pollution and rubbish around. They only do it for one reason - they are too lazy to deal with it correctly. Out of interest George, since you think this recycling thing is a lot of garbage (pun intended), what would be your solution?
-
Who's going to recycle the black bags and how long will it take, playlist? A year, a century or a few millenia, if at all? As usual, the older generation are the cynics, while the younger generation are at least trying. Ironically to save the planet from the older generations sharn.
-
The Council says that. Your rubbish will be left, fact. Read about it, do a little investigation of your own, instead of relying on anonymous trolls on Shetlink for your information.

Proof that you're happy to have the majority of your rubbish picked up once a fortnight? That's a real good start. If you think the 'majority' of your rubbish will be collected once a fortnight you clearly haven't read anything about the recycling. The 'general waste' will be collected once a fortnight, falling in line with the rest of the UK. Shetland was the last place to deviate from weekly collections, some council areas have three weekly general refuse collections. It's always people of a certain generation who are allergic to change and progress. It won't stop it happening though.

Didn't you have a parental/guardian who taught you not to believe everything you read, especially when the statement is subjective, not objective. Propagandaists move in mysterious ways, only question here is whether you've been taken in by one, or are one. Proof that it hasn't got off to a good start?
-
Yes I suspect they will. Just as electricians work with electricity, the bin men will work with...........um, bungee cords. I'm going to dig out my swimming goggles.
-
No - unless you use a bungee cord, they won't have time to untie and retie hundreds of wheelie bins daily. You won't if you use a bungee cord, free and supplied with it. You, it's your bin. You don't have to accept the bin, but you do have to recycle. If it is clear you are not recycling your waste will not be collected.

Am I. Where did I make comment on that subject on this thread or site? Not on this thread or site, but here http://www.shetlandtimes.co.uk/2017/12/16/media-training-costs-shetland-islands-council-600-hour#comment-1631240 Really? Where on there is there any comment attributed to 'Ghostrider'? Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't realise you were a child who thought 'Ghostrider' was some sort of ulterior being to yourself. On this site you choose to be known as 'borderhole24', I choose to be known as 'Ghostrider' - Who you choose to be known as anywhere else is entirely your choice, and whether, or not borderhole24 wishes to link with any other identity you may use anywhere else, is entirely your choice, and yours alone. I have the same rights, and I didn't give you permission to attempt to link my identity to any other identity anywhere else which I may or may not use. Michael, if you're wanting to hide behind a pseudonym, make a better job at hiding behind it. Everyone knows who you are, you rant on here, and put the same rant on the Shetland Times page. Mr Anonymous himself. The point remains you complain about the council wasting money on training its councillors yet youre happy for them to waste tax payers money paying pointless fines to stick up for what you think is right. easy to sit behind a computer, and a pseudonym and speak nonsense.

Our CEO!

we require one, by law. simple. “One has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws.” Martin Luther King. Jr. yes Michael Martin Luther King Jr was speaking about Shetlands need for a CEO when he said that. The subject matter is irrelevant, the point of principle remains the same. Even if it means disciplinary action being taken against the local government? Fines probable for not having a head of paid services. Youre happy to moan at the cost of media training i see but happy for the council to waste money on unnecessary fines.
