I agree with chav1 - the wheelie bins would be the right size for most families if they still collected weekly.

There are just two of us and to be honest our wheelie bin is the perfect size for two weeks - but I can understand how bigger families struggle. I believe you can get extra bins but I know a few people who have tried and been turned down even though they are recycling what they can and only putting non-recycleable rubbish in the wheelie bins.

The e-mail from HBC stated that recycleable waste is 60% of all household waste - well I wouldn't agree in my case (& probably that of others) - as I say, I put out 1 wheelie bin full every two weeks (approx 3 black bags) but the recycleable waste I put out every two weeks would probably only fill 2 bags at the most - I'm not that great at maths but I know that ain't 60%!
