Almost everything to do with West Dunbartonshire Council’s handling of the Corona Virus from care homes to contracting it has been rubbish. Notice the number of deaths, the cover-ups and confusion. So, there is no surprise that the Council have managed to produce a set of confused rules for taking your rubbish to the recycling centres at Dalmoak on the Renton Road and Old Kilpatrick. Parkinson’s Law (Work expands to meet the time allocated to it) comes to mind when you look at the instructions for queuing up for entry to these depots. Eh? is the only response to this. Don’t be surprised if you find the rubbish being tipped at the gates of these depots by frustrated people having done the right thing for months only to be faced with this piece of bureaucratic bumbledom. But that’s what happens when you put the person in charge of Communications in charge of the Bins and Recycling department. Or the other way round. Progressive thinking required here. Open these depots 24/7 and supervise them until the demand goes back to normal hours. Ed.
