CIWM slams Pickles over guidance on rubbish collections

摘要

The CIWM has accused Communities Secretary Eric Pickles for chasing headlines rather than providing a policy framework that supports councils, following the publication of his 'bin Bible' guidance. Pickles issued a so-called "bin bible" to try to stop councils from axing weekly rubbish collections last month. The Communities Secretary said the new guidance for local authorities exposes the false claims made by council "bin barons" to justify scaling back services.
