Topic: Re:Re:  Two weekly recycling is worse with wheelies

The bins are huge (nearly everybody except those homes with incontinence pad users - babies AND adults should have more recycling than residual waste) and the space to store them is often small and they need a turning circle which has not been taken into consideration so that it takes a lot of effort to have the right one ready to push out on the right day.

Plenty of people cannot manoeuvre the bins so they are left out on the street - and there are I'm sure extra requests for assisted collections - they're should be or there will be more people in hospital.

Weekly recycling collections should be much better.  You are lucky not to have two wheelie bins.  The streets are blighted by them. 

Don't forget to try and reduce the amount of packaging you buy - and flatten tins, plastic bottles and cardboard.  If the cardboard is from Amazon deliveries then always comment on their feedback about it ESPECIALLY if it is excessive. Make a note of other recycling banks convenient to you especially if you are driving to buy groceries from a supermarket.

LBH recycling should be of a far better quality than that of LBE.

I'm surprised at the box that won't flatten.  Nowadays most of them have been specificaly designed for recycling ie flattening and just have a strip of adhesive tape along the bottom which can be ripped off.

Separating the food waste out makes a lot of difference and it is a weekly collection.  It means cleaner and sweeter smelling black wheelies.

Change is a pain and just as with everything else it is easier to tweak what you do until you find the best solution.  Packaging also continues to change.
