How many bloody bins do you have?

[gingerjedi]

Where's ya bin?

No, where's ya wheely bin?

(sounds better in a Jamaican accent).

Really? I always tell it as a Chinaman with a slight lisp.

[gingerjedi]

Wrong! Only about 95% of it goes to landfill.

Yes the other 5% blows around the street for the next week.

[Pogle]

1 bin for unrecycleable stuff
1 bin for garden waste
1 bin for glass, metal & plastics
3 Green bags for paper and cardboard.

Bags for green waste

[Cheshire Cat]

1 blue box (about 40-50L) for all paper/card/mags
1 green box (same size) for glass/tins/plastic (bottles only)
1 wheelie bin for everything else.

[TykeMerc]

1 wheelie bin
1 Brown bin for food waste (grey one for inside the house)
1 white bag thing for plastic bottles (no tops)
1 box for glass and cans (must be washed 1st), this blew away one night and I've not asked for a replacement
1 Green bag for paper (not waxed)

Utter bollocks to be honest.

Don't know if they still have this scheme but a few years ago over in Vale Royal you used to get a Green bin for your unrecyclable landfill rubbish and a Brown bin for garden waste etc.

Now the good bit of the scheme.

Collection weeks were alternated as Green weeks and Black weeks. On a Black week you put out your Green bin. On a Green week you put out your Brown bin (and bottles/cans etc).


Utter chaos!

Our council seems to be living in the dark ages.

No wheelie bins supplied. Had to buy our own black bins for general rubbish
2 black boxes for cans, plastic and paper+cardboard
1 green bag for garden waste

No glass collection, so I go off to the bottle bank every bloomin fortnight
No fruit juice carton recycling, again off to local recycling centre

The garden waste bags and black boxes are rotated each week, even during the winter when nobody is doing any gardening.

Only good bit is that there isn't a limit on how much you can throw out. Just buy more bins, or more plastic boxes

No fruit juice carton recycling, again off to local recycling centre

Does anybody recycle these?
