Re: It must be time for recycle bins

Wheelie bins here for general rubbish - once a week, left within 1 metre of the road and a 1 man vehicle comes and automatically picks it up, empties it into the lorry and then deposits it back - the driver never leaves his cab.
Plastics and cans are into yellow bags which you deposit in large wire baskets which are pretty well distributed around and glass goes into bottle banks which are in all supermarket car parks and at the rubbish dump along with all the other disposal skips - building material, metal, cardboard, oil, general and garden waste.
Works fine here, street cleaners in the towns, no rubbish lying around, but probably different in the big cities.
