[Ken Moss]

I have never had a single complaint about fortnightly bin collections and I have never had a problem with the current system. Quite often it will only be left out once per month because the vast majority of household waste can be recycled.

Food waste was toyed with as an idea to get recycling rates up and lower the tonnage being sent to landfill but it has generally been agreed that it would not be a good idea, primarily because of the hygeine issue.

Better recycling is the way forward and this £250m bribe, sorry policy, smells of face-saving to me.
