"We are getting back weekly bin emptying days . How good is that eh.
bout bloody time too . 
Oh and only in england ?  "
Glasgow has just awarded a £huge contract to replace their 160 litre wheelybins with 240 litre versions.
They insist it's NOT in anticipation of a reduced collection service but I'm not convinced. |

"I've got 4 bins all different sizes and colours, if it wasn't for my 84yr old neighbour I wouldn't know what goes in what bin and when the bin needs to go out.
Complicated or what?  "

In Hull, we have always kept our weekly collections on general waste.
The Food waste bins introduced last year are done weekly too.
The Paper/Cans/Glass/Plastic collections started 2 years ago, and have been fortnightly throughout.
We get a really good service up here

Care to expand that notion?
It certainly has a lot going for it, despite what you may read in the media! |

I think you're right. It does seem to have a lot going for it despite the difficulties many major cities have faced over the last 15-20 years.
From what I read the council seems very responsive to the demands of the electorate and I can't help but respect a city which elects a genuine human being, Alan Johnson, as one of its MPs. |

"I went passed on a coach once "
So, you must have been going to or from the Ferry Port? Right?
The problem is that Hull is not en-route to anywhere as it is stuck out East at the end of the A63.
You don't pass through it going to somewhere else, other than the Ferry Port.

He is indeed and he was dealt a bitter blow by two of the people in whom he should have been able to have absolute faih. |

Ah, I see what you mean!
Except, Alan Johnson is MP for Hessle which is outside Hull City, so technically he comes under the East Riding.
Hull has struggled; no one party can claim to have run the council better or worse than anyone else! But what they put on each year for free public entertainment, even in these austere times, is fabulous. Their public services aren't bad either; I've seen worse elsewhere.
And with the 10's of thousands of jobs coming our way over the next 3 years or so with the Wind Farm technology and manufacturing settling here, Hull will become as rich as Aberdeen did when the oil boom hit there. |

His website suggests he's the Member for Kingston upon Hull West and Hessle but that might be a local distinction others don't get. |

Aberdeen didn't become rich. A few Aberdonians made a few dollars and a whole bunch of international oil people settled there and pushed house prices beyond the reach of many local people.
Hull would have a great advantage over, say, the Moray Firth in respect of the fact it's far closer to the centres of greatest demand and my understanding is that moving leccy around the country, no matter how it was originally generated, is an expensive business. |

I'm only quoting what various experts have said about the comparison to Aberdeen.
The Wind Farm thread is due to the fact that the 3 major wind farms in the North Sea are being placed due east of the Humber, about 10 hours sailing time from Hull. |

"I've got 4 bins all different sizes and colours, if it wasn't for my 84yr old neighbour I wouldn't know what goes in what bin and when the bin needs to go out.
Complicated or what? "
Whats so difficult?
one for general household rubbish
one for paper
one for plastic
one for glass/metal
Sounds like you've even got colour co-ordinated bins,
eg.
Green for paper,
Grey for general household rubbish
and so on.
You can find info about what goes where and collection days on council websites and most councils send out flyers giving you the info.
If an elderly 84 year old neighbour can get the information then i'm sure you can.
If people spent more time recycling and less time moaning about it they'd have more free time.

These 'various experts' sound a bit like the "international oil people" who insisted Furry Boots would become a late 20th century version of the Land of Milk and Honey*.
