I dont have a big back yard mate. Where did the people with small back yards used to store all the black bags full of rubbish that wont fit into a wheelie bin? I agree with you, our old houses are not designed to be recyling friendly. I have a very small kitchen with nowhere for a few bins for the different types of waste we have to keep seperate. Maybe smaller bins and weekly collections would be the answer. I know the idea of fortnightly collections is to reduce costs but maybe it needs reviewing.
I forgot a major problem with the refuse collection service. The size of the bin waggons. They are massive. Way to big for our narrow streets. I was talking to someone at Hyndburn Works recently. He told me that the waggons are causing the back streets to collopse in some areas. A lady at the council also informed me that they have had several claims from residents whose cars have been damaged by the bin wagons.
