THE DEPARTMENT AT PRESENT HAS TO BUY ABOUT 330 000 BAMBOO BASKETS A YEAR AND THESE HAVE A COMPARATIVELY BRIEF +LIFE+ BEFORE THEY BECOME USELESS.
ON THE OTHER HAND, ONE PLASTIC REFUSE CONTAINER LASTS AS LONG AS 20 BAMBOO BASKETS.
+A FINAL FACTOR IN FAVOUR OF PLASTIC BASKETS IS THAT THEY HAVE A NEATER AND CLEANER APPEARANCE THAN BAMBOO BASKETS, SAID THE SPOKESMAN.
THE DECISION TO MAKE THE CHANGE HAS BEEN APPROVED BY THE URBAN COUNCIL'S ENVIRONMENTAL HYGIENE SELECT COMMITTEE AND ITS FINANCE SELECT COMMITTEE.
