Dear editor, I WAS taking my recycling to the Pembroke Dock site last Monday and tipping a bit of metal waste. I looked in the skip and there on the top was a wheelchair with ward 12 written twice on it in white letters – there appeared to be nothing wrong with it.
Who would do such a thing with a valuable piece of equipment? Is it so hard to take it back to the hospital – surely not.
When I spoke to the attendant he said: “Yes it’s disgusting, but we are not allowed to take anything out of the skips, once they are put in.”
What a silly world we live in, is there no common sense?
The person who dumped it does not value the equipment and their time to take it back to the hospital is obviously too precious, perhaps.
Then you have the council who allows this useful, expensive chair to be left and sold as scrap. Health and safety is the reason.
Our hard earned tax monies are being wasted.
