« Waste Separation At Source - another half-baked scheme | Main | Applied Maths - what was I thinking? »

Retraction - redirection of annoyance towards ministry

Last night I was annoyed and wrote some nasty things about WasteServ, and it has been brought to my attention that (at least some of) what I said was undeserved...

Apparently WasteServ have nothing to do with the 'waste separation at source' scheme, which is why there is nothing about it on their website. They are involved with the recycling of packaging waste, but not with how it gets from households to the plant. Sorry! Chris Ciantar, whose name is synonymous with WasteServ, has been involved with the scheme through his post as a director in the Ministry for the Environment (a couple of weeks ago he got made Permanent Secretary in the new ministry).

Also, while I still am not so impressed with how WasteServ has done some things, and didn't get such a great impression when I toured Sant' Antnin, on the other hand yes they did do some things right, so apologies for my sweeping generalisations.


So, all my annoyance has now been re-directed towards the ministry, and the ranting about the grey plastic bags, their unavailability, and the overall mismanagement of the implementation of the scheme still stands.

Hekk, mela.
