I put everything in one bin. I'm not paid to sort rubbish. I won't be washing it before putting it out either. I pay to have my rubbish removed. If they want to sort it, that's up to them. But I won't be doing it. Once an item is finished with, it goes in the black bin. Simple as that.
Do Brits actually understand how screwed up their country is? I watched this in complete amazement. I've lived in 3 countries now and I've never seen a system like that.
Yes we do. But all the parties are corrupt apart from reform who are being slandered as far right by the press which puts off a lot of the sheep from voting for them
@@edmundblackaddercoc8522 That’s correct and it all started back in Gordon Brown’s day’s when he starting taxing rubbish. Just another case of government policy of introducing something to save the World that actually has the opposite effect. Everything we use in the consumer World came out of the ground so what’s so bad about putting it back where it came from.
Back in the day, We had a Rubbish bin mostly for tin cans, pig swill bin that was collected by the pig farmers, and the rest was burnt on the fires in your front rooms or where ever.
In Cornwall we actually have 7 separate household waste bins, Garden, General, Glass, Paper, Cardboard, Food, Plastic/Aluminium. If you don't have a garden or driveway it's near impossible to manage so there are bins everywhere in the more urban areas. Another idea not properly thought through I'm afraid.
My council now charges for an optional garden refuse bin, in which you can put food waste, and the black bin collection is now going to three weeks. Not sure about our grey bins - recycling; they are now talking about a separate food waste bin. We used to have a couple of huge skips parked on country roads locally. They are sadly missed.
My peelings, etc go in my compost bins along with paperwork with my details on - better than using a shredder! Like you, born after the war, I don't waste anything.
It's all about laziness. We had a family of 7 in the 70s and 1 bin. The only thing in that bin was Ash from the coal fire and a handful of tin cans. Its big companies that need to pick up the bill for so called convenience. We should return to proper food outlets that have instore , fish monger , butcher and bakery , using 4 ingredients to make a loaf of bread , not bread made with 20 ingredients. No meat pre packed should be allowed to be sold. All meat should come fresh from the instore butcher. Cooked meats and things like fresh sausages used to be packed in paper bags with a greaseproof paper lining. What's so hard in going back to the old way of doing things that worked ? A fresh loaf of bread was packed in a paper bag. It didn't last more than a day with a family of 7. Too kuchen junk food outlets now , that are one of the main causes for this nonsense. All plastic bottles should be banned and replaced by glass bottles again. Like it used to be. Every tree that's cut down needs to be replaced with 20 saplings. It's just global greed that's got us here. It needs rewinding back to past ways that worked.
This Mayor didn't answer the point regarding what really happens to the recycling onve it has been collected. Je conveniently ignored it like most people. The majority of collected recycling doesn't get recycled m
12 full size wheelie bins at my housing association block of 4 single occupancy flats. (4 black, 4 green, 4 blue.) The property does have a garden of sorts. So there's room for the bins as such. But it is a bit ridiculous because the flats are sensitive lets for single over 50's. We fill 2 black bins (general waste) max between us once a fortnight. 1 blue bin (plastic/cardboard recycles) between us on the alternate fortnightly collection. And 1 green bin (garden waste) maybe once a month. Which goes out for only 8 months of the year or so on blue bin week. Literally got 4 green bins between us for garden waste for a 20 foot square garden area. For about 8 collections of 1 of those bins a year.
In Shropshire they are going to make us pay twice for removing our garden waste despite the fact we already pay for it in our council tax and they get paid for the end product a garden compost
I use milk bottles here on the Isle of Man, delivered, and collected, to the door, and in my parish we only have one bin, which is collected weekly. We also have an old-fashioned rates system as well. There are some advantages of being like the UK, but 20yrs ago.
Im in Cornwall we have. 7 Bins / bags its crazy. One week they collect recycling that we have to separate into. Cardboard, paper, plastic & tin cans, lastly glass each has its own bag or bin. The following week we just have one bin of anything else that cant be recycled. Both weeks they collect the food waste bin. On top of which is garden wast that goes into yet another different bag/bin. The local supermarket has a bin for old clothes and fabric ie towels bedding
It has taken 2 months to get any rubbish collected. Firstly Cornwall council didn't deliver the bins so they wouldn't take any of my rubbish or recycling. Then I got some bins but they then didn't collect food waste for 3 weeks and had to be told they hadn't collected my recycling after they missed the collection. I still have no bins for general refuse and can't even get a response the council, ridiculous that we can't even stop paying tax to them in response
There is a German Donner kebab shop opposite me in Enfield town and they put out over THIRTY FULL black bags every single evening!!!!! So that's just the packaging INSIDE the place!!! Without take aways!!!! Its only a small branch. that is madness
@reilly-vc1rm yes I know they pay for it... but is it really necessary?? I suppose you think it's ok to produce tons of harmful toxic waste as long as its shipped abroad to be dumped? The point is it's not necessary for 30 bags of crap to have to be disposed of everyday with unnecessary packaging. Just put the food on a plate and wash it up!!
I live in the Midlands, far away from the sea and we get seagulls 🤣 The food waste bins just used to be tipped in with the normal waste by the collectors, so they stopped doing it. Years ago we had a farmer with his horse and cart collect the communal food bins for the pig farm. Was a bit smelly but the horse left us great manure lol
I live in an apartment block (20 flats) and the council issued the building 20 food bins for inside and 4 for outside. Its been months now and there are still 16 bins unused and piled up in the bin shed waiting for someone to claim one. I'm guessing the same goes for the other apartment blocks on my road
Normally its 4, tomorrow with rubbish rubbish (3weekly) its 5 plus every other week and different day garden, however some months ago was googling about a related subject and came across fact that my rubbish rubbish is actually sent to an incinerator near Bristol. I’ve always been an advocate of incineration, everything in one bin, metals and glass are recovered the rest produces electricity - simple. Oh and the noxious gases are scrubbed clean before releasing, check it out
Us in coventry have just had to pay for brown lidded bins to be collected, they give you a sticker, the ones without a sticker remain on the side of the road
😂😂😂 guess why they won't collect them on my street after countless letters the council have finally had enough of migrants putting untied rubbish bags in the street days before collection so they leave it
The make do and mend generation were so much better at recycling. Rag and bone used to collect unwanted items. Milk bottles were recylcling. We are runbish now..literally
What if the capital dust charges the quantity? The usable engines can accept in the scheme.The Major of St Ives can charge in the recommendation.even if the complex classic handles the explanation,The subject in St Ives lists the intrigued holiday season.
It's not really 'rubbish' it's just stuff that should be used in a useful way instead of being dumped. Jobs could be created to take care of all the stuff we no longer want.
Full time neverending job round my way. So many recent arrivals with so little care for the place that half the cast iron drain gratings have been ripped up & stolen to be sold for scrap metal money.
The recycling trucks leave more shite behind then they take if a little wind blows up it ends up everywhere, kernow most estates dont even get these bins our estate has none just couple of little boxes 2 mr kiplin cake boxes fill it up .

They chuck it all together anyway
Same here. Its not to 'save the planet', its to save shareholders money!
I could have written this post myself. Spot on.
I've NEVER recycled as I always knew it was a scam. ALL my rubbish goes in the one black bin. As it is they only come round once a FORTNIGHT anyway.
@@bobjames6622 I don't even use black bags lol I just chuck it in the bin.
We used to generate less rubbish because we burnt so much of it at home.
Council tax rises and rises, services goes down and down.
at this rate we will have to charge the council rent for all their bins. Some houses will have no garden left at this rate lol
Do Brits actually understand how screwed up their country is? I watched this in complete amazement. I've lived in 3 countries now and I've never seen a system like that.
Someone's making money from it
Yes we do. But all the parties are corrupt apart from reform who are being slandered as far right by the press which puts off a lot of the sheep from voting for them

The rubbish I put in my bins is not generated by me, it’s given to me in the first place.
All ends up in same place, guy tracked his with airpods
As we are forced to separate recycling we should all send an invoice to the council for our time spent doing it.
There’s bottle banks in a car park Green / clear / brown people are sorting it in colours bin truck empty’s whole 3 bins in the same truck. 😳

Food waste?
I don't waste food but there again I grew up in the 1940s after the war when food wasn't wasted.

A joke in North Wales. Bins still not being emptied for many weeks since the start of new system.

Been that way a while in stoke, was £35 py.
Same in Hackney London.
Not everyone needs a green bin though.
My neighbor doesn't, but I do.....why should he have to subsidise my green bin?
My neck of the woods has had it for 3 years now
You're lucky - £50 where I live. Increased Council Tax too....
Its all about control!

Am I watching people driving to a waste lorry. That can’t be green.
Commercial drivers throw cans and food containers out of their windows on our country lanes.
Probably ends up in the same landfill site.

Mike, Walk away from the bins. You are absolutely mad. 😂❤
Anyone for more English virtue signalling….we are an international embarrassment
Cornwall council spent £300000 storing wheelie bins in an old hanger........
bubble n squeak comes to mind no food wasted old school

Isnt it just virtue signalling smoke and mirrors as very little of the waste we throw away is actually recycled?
We have 2 bins black rubbish green recycling collected alternate weeks here in Hastings works ok its a simple way of doing things
Don't have bins where I am in Hastings, just crappy bags which don't stop animals from going through them and scattering rubbish everywhere
It's not really 'rubbish' it's just stuff that should be used in a useful way instead of being dumped. Jobs could be created to take care of all the stuff we no longer want.

@@GodsOwnPrototype if you leave it to become rat infested,it's your problem

you should be going out there and clean up the waste,not talk about it
Most of the recycling gets burnt or goes to landfill

No knife crime to discuss just wheelie bin issues 🥱
