The council are only just testing out garden waste collections on a few streets here at the moment. They have green bags rather than bins. At our old house our recycling was collected every 2 weeks which wasn't enough. The local councils vary around here in what they'll take, in Stroud I believe you can put more plastics in your bin, here we can only put plastic milk bottles. My grandmother lives near Tewkesbury, she's given different coloured bags for different items to recycle. We have to take a lot of recycleables to the local supermarket. As for collecting household waste every two weeks, the streets here would be filthy (like after xmas) unless people cut down on waste and recycled more.
