I live in this dismal town called Blackburn and believe you me fortnightly collections are awful. Even though I'm vegetarian and don't use many things that can't be recycled my bin stinks something rotten. Cat litter and dog faeces being the main items thrown away. As for the little boxes they provide for recycling mine is full within a couple of days because of pet food tins. I'd be in real trouble if my kids were still at home. Just a thought as well, has anyone tried washing out the tins with the pull rings. I attempted to do so when the scheme first started and learnt pretty quick not to do so with anything but a dish brush. Even those get cut to shreds after a few washes.
