I have been using the dump at Redbridge for more than 20 years as a domestic user and have adjusted to the recycling arrangements over the years.
I have recently experienced problems in finding the landfill skip and noticed a couple of skips with a red ‘X’ in front of a landfill sign. Many of my colleagues agree that this means ‘no landfill’. When I enquired, I was told the red X meant ‘not recyclable’ (i.e. landfill).
To many, this conveys the exact opposite of the intention and in any case, will continue to cause confusion.
It then makes me start to wonder how exactly some of these confused people decide to dump such waste. I would suggest a clearer, less ambiguous signage.
