Recycling

Post by CHARLIE BEAR »

Hi Comrades,
Someone told me yesterday that the spare Door2Door leaflets, and the boxes they are transported in, are not recycled. Is this true? If it is, it's a disgraceful waste. Is anyone able to confirm either way?
Looking forward to Friday week.

I think they are meant to be returned to the customer, though why there are so many left over is a mystery. I've got 445 calls on my walk and I've usually got about 50 spare. Before you ask, I deliver 1 to each household. Maybe the machines can't count!

I've got 425 and often get 500. I think they just round the amount up sometimes.

It gets returned to the RDC, and recycled.
