Re: "Big Brother" has landed.........
we have black bin sacks for rubbish. pink sacks for recy. orange box for glass. and green wheely for garden stuff. the black bags are once a week, other rubbish every 2 weeks. but we have 1 of the neighbours who put all the rubbish out every week. she must get fed up with the council coming around and talking to her.but it is good to see more pink sacks than black sacks go out.

Re: "Big Brother" has landed.........
we have bi-weekly collections black bin for general waste and the next week red box for all but plastics and green garden waste wheelie bin we were supposed to be having in July 2 more boxes one for paper and one for cardboard but they haven't materialised yet we like so many of you havent really the room for all of these boxes but I do like recycling as we can't go on forever with landfill I think more money should be invested in incinerators that put more electricity into the national grid I also wish they would do away with wind farms inland, out at sea they are ok but they are a serious blot on our ever decreasing countryside....

Re: "Big Brother" has landed.........
I do agree that it is a 'Big Brother-ish' but all councils are given set Government targets on how much they need to be re-cycling because as Suey rightly says we can't keep do the landfill stuff as we are running out of space. All councils are having to try to educate and encourage people on being more green by recycling their rubbish. If you're not sure what should go in which bin, councils are usually quite happy to provide advisory leaflets. It may seem a bit over the top and intrusive to have 'bin police' but is one way for them to demonstrate how important and urgent it is that we recycle more then we do.17-09-2009, 11:14 PM

Re: "Big Brother" has landed.........
We have three bins, household, garden and one for paper, tins and plastic bottles. I wish we had a fourth for glass. It clutters up the garage for ages before we get round to taking it to the bottle bank.I'm glad to think it was only the council checking rubbish. When I started reading my first thought was identity fraud!
