    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.

    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.

    • @christiner302
      @christiner302 4 месяца назад +1

      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.

    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.

    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.

    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

  • @cal530

    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

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
