The Government is looking to bring back weekly bin collections. I have to say that in all the time I spent in local government, the one thing I always struggled to justify was the move to fortnightly collections. To me it was simply a cynical way to save money, justified by a smokescreen of getting us all to recycle.

It would be interesting to know the arrangements for refuse collection in other parts of the world like Canada and Italy where other accy webbers live. In Spain, I know that domestic refuse is collected every day, seven days a week.
