In northants, we get one black wheelie bin for household waste, emptied once every two weeks, maggots are unbearable in the summer.
One green wheelie bin for garden waste emptied every two weeks. Nearly always empty, Small black box for plasics emptied same week as black wheelie bin. Small green box for glass and papers, emptied same week as green wheelie bin.
We also have three garden compost bins, so alot of the waste we get goes in there for useing in large buckets for growing potatoes
