rubbish - outsourcing the sifting
WORKERS, JAN 2005 ISSUE
The separation and collection of "green" waste is nothing new in Leeds and other cities in West Yorkshire. Nobody got hot under the collar about the new wheelie bins provided for the selected recyclable items when they were introduced a few months ago.
What has given pause for thought is the news that "green" waste from Leeds is being exported for sifting in India. Having exported call-centre jobs and, more recently, high-tech engineering jobs to India, our Leeds politicos are going to keep those kids working on the landfill sites in the name of "free" trade.
