| Re: Rubbish - fortnightly collections
Here we have the alternating fortnightly system, household one week then garden the next. Our recycle box and bag (for paper) is collected a seperate day and weekly.
The recycle box is allways overflowing, I've gone out and brought another simular one.
The household waste is usually about right although I did get frustrated when they went from picking up at 9am to 7.30am without word and ended up missing them over a month, I had to make an appointment to take it myself (12 bags) in my car to the yard where I was told to simply put it into the large bins outside of the entrance. Putting them out the night before isnt a problem until any of the holidays when the students are back home and as they wonder past at 2am decide to either empty them out onto the road or run of with them to another street.
The garden waste is most definately a waste in the winter..well for me and I think most of the road I live on, monthly would be fine.
