1 liner. So, you are compacting, I think I said, about five
2 or six bags into one thick liner.
3
4 Q. I am just trying to find out -- let us say -----
5
6 MR. JUSTICE BELL: What is the point you are on? I thought the
7 point was how much environment/index.html">litter was brought back to the store
8 during the day by the environment/index.html">litter patrols.
9
10 MR. MORRIS: I am trying to identify whether that is the
11 compacted -----
12
13 MR. JUSTICE BELL: The five barrows winter, 10 in summer, which
14 was obviously no more than the broadest estimate, was
15 before the barrow came into use, you said?
16 A. But it would still be the same volume of rubbish with
17 the barrow -- I mean, the amount of rubbish would be the
18 same.
19
20 Q. I appreciate that, but it has been put to you that even
21 compacted, once the barrow came into use, it was still five
22 winter and 10 summer?
23 A. No, it would be less now.
24
25 Q. What sort of amounts, if you can say?
26 A. If I was asked to guess, I would say three to four in
27 the winter, eight in the summer.
28
29 MR. MORRIS: These are, physically, the amount of bags that are
30 brought in through the front door by the environment/index.html">litter patrollers,
31 not what goes out the back after it has been compacted; is
32 that correct?
33 A. That is true, yes.
34
35 Q. How much of that would be McDonald's environment/index.html">litter or is there no
36 way of telling?
37 A. No, I would have to either do the trash walk myself or
38 empty the bag out to see what percentage. I could not
39 hazard a guess at that, no.
40
41 Q. Is McDonald's the main take-away place on that block?
42 A. On the Kings Road for fast food?
43
44 Q. You said you cover your trash walk; is that the main
45 take-away premises?
46 A. It is probably the busiest.
47
48 Q. Are there any other ones on that actual block?
49 A. What do you mean by "block"?
50
51 Q. Surrounded by the Smith Square and Royal Avenue, the one
52 that you do every half an hour, you say?
53 A. Yes, well, there is a Safeways on the corner, on the
54 other corner of Royal Avenue and they do take-away
55 sandwiches and drinks.
56
57 MR. JUSTICE BELL: You have got Haagen Dazs on the other side of
58 the road?
59 A. That is a few hundred yards up the road, on the
60 opposite side of the road, yes.
