The so-called kerbside recycling trial Brighton and Hove City Council has just awarded Sita is a farce.
It is a pathetic political gesture which will cost us money and fail to deliver the real kerbside collection scheme we so desperately need.
How will it test whether people can separate different materials when only paper is to be collected?
How will it test out whether Sita is capable of running the service when this trial will be so unlike a real kerbside collection?
If the council wants to know about kerbside collections, it should ask Magpie, the local recycling co-operative.
It has run its Green Box scheme for some time now and could probably tell the council everything it needs to know.
