i'd be all up for alternate weekly collections on the following grounds.
i get my regular black bin, my blue bin is actually collected (paper) i get a green bin for garden waste and i get a brown for plastics.
THEN i'd be happy to do alternate collection.
to be honest the yanks have been doing recycling for how long? 10-15-20 years in some area's?
why the hell are we all suddenly mad dashing around now when we should have been looking at this at least in the early 90's
all this pay per weight crap is tosh, wtf do we pay council tax for? people are going to simply dump their crap anywhere because of this and the council will foot bigger bills to clean it up. mark my words.
hell i bet if it comes to weight charges people won't take their bin out till the last possible moment for fear that your neighbour will top yours off....
i'd just like to say a big "thanks labour gov't" for this fine mess.
