i have had the same problem, the blue bags are an absoloute joke so i have got 2 blue boxes, one for plastic and cans and one for glass, i go through a load of plastic for some reason so i fill up a box every 2 weeks (sometimes quicker) one day a stray can had accidentaly fallen into the glass box when i put them out so i to received a note through the door and the box was`nt emptied because te dimwit just assumed the box was mixed, glass an tins he refused to empty it!!!!! i was fuming i have recycled for years even before hbc jump on the right on band wagon so i let rip on the phone,eventually i got a call back from someone of authority in the councils recycling dept and i told him that the bags were just no good for me so i will continue to use my blue boxes but will put the correct items in together, he said this was fine and would just put a note on my address details for the bin men to expect my stuff in blue boxes and not a box and a bag. not had a problem since!!!! although i do tink that one recycle bin for all items would encourage recycling because people just can`t be bothered paying council tax AND separating they`re waste. phewwwww!!!
