We have a "standard" one, the neighbours have a "small" one - which isn't big enough for a black sack, hence them putting it all in ours. It doesn't help that they fill their black sacks so full they tear.<br /><br />Oh well, I'm moving house next week anyway!Forest Pineshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14039467421106380057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8150854159364820604.post-78117560266649459352010-06-04T23:57:01.727+01:002010-06-04T23:57:01.727+01:00Yes, the papers that the Cabinet is asked to appro...Yes, the papers that the Cabinet is asked to approve are very thin on detail. I expect it will be nodded through, though; then it will be up to Gary Hopkins and the officers to put it into practice, with the Cabinet taking joint responsibility for letting it happen.<br /><br />There's another item that proposes the replacement of the green 'residuals' bins with bins scaled down according to household size. In practice that does reduce the amount of waste (though you'd think that in practice people would just compact it more, to squeeze it in); but it begs the question of where the remainder goes. You've probably hit on one of the answers.Pete Goodwinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07115478143080295370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8150854159364820604.post-7821547204883193132010-06-04T09:03:17.595+01:002010-06-04T09:03:17.595+01:00I wonder how such a scheme would deal with people ...I wonder how such a scheme would deal with people like my upstairs neighbours, who regularly dump large amounts of recyclable waste in my bin, and leave their own empty.Forest Pineshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14039467421106380057noreply@blogger.com
