A slim red bin for weekly rubbish collection, food waste
A large grey bin for recyclables - plastic, tin cans, bottles, cardboard, paper
A large brown bin for garden cuttings, grass

The grey and brown bins are collected every two weeks...and the brown bin is not collected from November-March.

They should do, the country must consume vast quantities of juice, smoothies and sometimes UHT milk (yuck ).
I think they're foil lined on the inside, so you can't put them in with cardboard.

I fully agree, it's just I think they're very hard to recycle and I know Richmond don't collect them.

Not sure if there's anywhere to take them for recycling but we must go through a fair few a month.

I strongly recommend people use Freecycle as well. Outr lovely council threaten us with all sorts of sanctions and fines if we have the nerve to leave our wheelie bins etc out for more than 24 hours. However, when I wanted them to take some bulky furniture away they wanted to charge me £25 and they reserved the right tio leave it on the kerb outside my house for upto 10 days.

Put it on Freecycle and three days later someone came and picked it up as a restoration project.

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

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

[Alf W]

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!

[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.

[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.
