I also can't believe that this rubbish could have come from one family. I also re-cycle the majority of my rubbish. My wheelie bin only goes out once a month for collection and I have usually room in it for excess bags from my neighbours which I have added to my wheelie bin from time to time. It's all well and good for the council to be slapping fines on people for leaving their rubbish in bags but there would probably be no need to do so if the collections were properly organised and the frequency of collections increased. I know that my bin doesn't need emptying weekly, but I live on my own. A family of 4 or more may well need a weekly collection.

From looking at this rubbish (and I have not raked through it too closely) some of it looks like it could be from someone having a huge spring clean and getting rid of old plant pots etc. Some looks like general household waste, foodstuffs etc.
