no probs i thought you were lolling at my comment and didn't know why. I do mind how much they spend as it doesn't seen fair on the others IMO. Re the McCann case - that should stop now IMO.Personally I don't really mind how much it costs as long as what is being done is being done properly and all avenues explored and all missing people treated the same. If I previously offended you for any reason apologies :fence:
Yes, really odd mentioned it first thing and we've bin discussing recycling and how long search will take. Hopefully not much longer now.Did anyone see the update from his dad saying the searchers are finding letters from around that date C went missing and that they are getting in the right place? I thought as they hadn't found anything he wasn't there but if they're only now getting into the right place I feel sick with nerves all over again
What happens to the bins that get a red label put on them because the contents are wrong ?
Not collected. The owner of the rubbish is supposed to resort it until it meets requirements.
What a pity that wasn't done with the bin that it is thought to have had C inside it?
Interesting poll results thanks Cagney.
They originally said it was recycling from Greggs but it got changed to 'household' refuse.
It was tongue in cheek comment really. Whatever type of waste, it isn't meant for people so should have had a red sticker, then it would have been sorted and C found -in an ideal world of course.It was the general waste bin so there is no need for a sticker

I'm sure this was in more MSM than this, but it says about it being "household" rubbish: https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/news/754247/nicola-urquhart-corrie-mckeague-missing-wrong-bin/
"They" = Nicola if I remember correctly. I think it's just imprecise use of language. It couldn't possibly have been household waste as there are no households there, only commercial bins.
My thoughts were that possibly the lorry should have collected paper recycling, but emptied a general waste bin by mistake. I think it's been said that it wasn't the regular driver, so that might increase the chance of error.
Bins have the same colour body (red) and are distinguished by the colour of the lid (black = general waste, red = recycling); it's also written on the bin whether it's general waste or recyclables. It might not have been the regular driver, but Biffa worker would know the difference. Has driver been given the incorrect info on what to collect?
I think you got that figure as it was reported that 8000 tons had to be moved to make the area safe to work in. The amount of waste they need to sift through has only ever been reported by depth and size of the area rather than it's weight.http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/missing-corrie-mckeagues-mum-says-10217187
I still can't work out the total over all search tonnage , so it must be under 2000 tonnes as they have done over 800 tones and are past the half way point , has it ever been said what the total search tones actually is as I thort it was around 8000 tonnes at the start but that can't be right it must be a lot less , IMO,
IMO I think that the chance of him now being found in the landfill are getting less likely at this stage of the search , so I'm back to the vehicles , I just don't trust that they even know exactly what bin was collected that morning and what it's normal average weight would have been, IMO
