This is similar to dustbin men thread

I think the recycling scheme by the Hyndburn Borough Council is a good idea, i.e. waste paper sacks and the bottles / tins blue box.
What I don’t like is the collection method. Instead of putting them out the back like I do with my dustbin, we have to put them out the front door into the street. I live in a terraced house, when I step out of my front door I’m on the pavement, no garden. As you can imagine on a bad day there could be bottles and tins all over the place, the sacks aren’t to bad you can put them in the doorway for a bit of shelter.
The blue bin I do not use anymore because I do not have any room in my kitchen to store it, so I put it out side in the back yard, then I noticed one or two of the local cats using it as a toilet. So there is no way I am going to carry the blue box through my home dripping with the contents of the empty bottle and cans and cat pee. I know that you are meant to wash the bottles and cans, but who does.
The cans go in the bin and the bottles I take to the bottle bank just like I have always done.
If they where to collect them, like they do with the bins (down the back). Then I shall do my bit again and start using the blue box.
Any one else having problems?
