Now we note the MPs are up in arms about the 1/2 weekly collections??-- this warm weather must be breeding lots of Flies and Maggots ??-- We cannot understand just why the Bins had to be put back to 2 weeks collection?? -- Is it only because of saving money at the risk of health??

Guess it is just up to Local councils to make The Decision??

With two of us, we don't have much waste. For the garden bin (brown) we tidy the garden/mow lawns, when bin due to go out.--All personal Info: is shredded. -- Bottles to the Bottle bank!!-- The drawback?? is plastic!! Some can be recycled, some cannot?? -- Excesspackaging?? should be up to the Supermarkets/shops,  as a programme on Tv pointed out -- a lot is quite unneccessary. As for the larger families -- their bins seem to overflow and it is not always their fault. I am sure that most people do try to do their best!!

You and I both!! Two weeks ago we took some rubbish, to the Tip and someone else's too. It is said that Flytipping is on the increase??

I have loads of waste 
I dont know where it comes from,mainly plastic !
because I live in a flat,the town hall decided we dont get a green bin for garden waste,anyhow we got one from the man next door,and the council refused to empty it ! we have a gardener who mows the lawns every 2 weeks ! and the bin was soon full to the brim,(funny cos nobody elses in the road was)we are just 8 flats in total I might add.
Who is it in the town hall who says we are not permitted a green bin ? or a black one for tins and glass,or a white bag for the papers ! yet they get £8,800.00 a year rates from us here.
ps. we got round the green bin,the guy next door said we can put it outside his place..........and lo and behold they emptied it !

Hi Phoenix
not in stockport but in manchester they have different coloured bins
Green for bio degradable
blue for bottles
brown for tins
black for rubbish
white for papers
lots of bins though ! but good idea.
Here in stockport we have
black
green
black bag !
white paper bag for papers ! but it works.
A lorry comes once a fortnight to collect them it has compartments for the different kinds of rubbish to go into,and its all automated.!

We have 3 bottle bins, green,brown, white, so far so good, but I have been told when the van comes to pick em up they all go into one place.

Well the council get a Government grant for it. Like all well meaning Government grants -they do get abused !
Usually by people who complain about the government !
