Eric Pickles has sent every local authority his "bin bible" setting out that they should return to weekly collections.
Now I know this is an emotive issue but surely this is a local matter and the minister might have more pressing matters than the bins? |

We have weekly rotating collections between household and recycled waste. We manage just fine.
Yes I think Mr Pickles might be better placed concentrating efforts elsewhere such as why taxpayers money continues to be wasted on unviable green energy. |

It's a joke round here, I live in a block of 4 flats and we have one of each bin between us, the houses opposite have one each. They get emptied fortnightly and by the end of the 1st week they are overflowing, it's ridiculous!! Plus one of the houses opposite fills theirs up really quick so they start putting stuff in ours too!!! They need to be emptied weekly!
Then people leave bins around the outsiders they don't fit then cats rip them apart and we get foxes round here too. |

"Its his job

Pie charts.
He has written this twice. He tried issuing it before Christmas and then withdrew it and then reissued it today.
It is also the day the Chancellor announces that public spending needs to reduce further.

Happy with ours. We have weekly food waste and recycling collections and 'other' household rubbish is collected every two weeks. But it's down to the local Council not a Minister! |

"I just get confused with which bin goes out when, come on there is 4 of the things.
4 bins? what for?"
We have a black bin with a black lid for general waste, a black bin with a blue lid for plastics and glass, another one for paper and card and another one for food waste. |

Rubish is a pressing and important matter,
Rats, public health, children, house prices,
no one is more important than anyone else, a surgeon couldn't operate without a cleaner! fix things from the basics up, if you want a happy and healthy society,
if my cleaner is unhappy, my life is hell! |

Now I do think the multiple bins can be reduced. We have a food bin and dry recycling bin which are both collected weekly. As food waste is the stuff that leads to vermin it seems right that is collected regularly. The general waste is collected every other week and I only bother once a month now as once I have sorted the recycling there is little rubbish left. |

ask them to collect the green bin, or convert to a bedding chest  |

I live in an upstairs flat and have a tiny kitchen, and I do mean tiny, I barely have room to cook let alone have space for various tubs, bottles and tins sitting around till I get chance to take them downstairs and outside to the recycling bins!!! It's a pain in the arse! |

"Nobody uses food bins, the foxes are like coyotes as it is
The food bins have a lock. The foxes around here haven't developed opposable thumbs yet."
Do they?? I haven't noticed one on ours. I'll go and look in a minute I've just heard the trick pull away from emptying the cardboard one that is fit to bursting so I can go and fill it up basin with the pile that's been sat in my hallway since Xmas! Lol. X |

Mine has instructions for locking it on the lid.
