And do you recycle?

Our recycling boxes are done every week and we have 2 bins, one for recyclables like garden waste and cardboard, the other for general waste. They are done every other week.

In lincolnshire, my parents have their one wheelie bin done weekly and their 3 recycling boxes MONTHLY!!!!!

Answer 1

General Waste every two weeks. I can't believe there are so many disgusting people around who are complaining about maggots and rats. Tie your rubbish in a bin bag before you put it in your bin you filthy people!

In Norfolk (in my town anyway), we have 2 wheelie bins. One green bin for general waste, and one black bin for recycling material. One tuesday, the green one will be collected and the next tuesday the black one is collected. So each bin is emptied once a fortnight. We do not have recycling boxes.

Answer 7

Here in Mcr we have four different type bins - however this does vary around the city. Two weeks/three weeks for recycle rubbish' and weekly for household. However, I fear from the news that the household will soon be emptied fortnightly - which I worry about. This is' going to cause problems with health issues for sure and once again the Gvt are getting it wrong!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 9

I'll simplify my answer in as little words as possible since it's late and I'm getting tired - You suggest launching the garbage into the Sun, are you not? Have you ever thought about all the mathematical equations, the billions of dollars it takes to launch just one rocket into orbit and taken into consideration that even if the rocket does not explode on the launching pad, it could explode in mid-air dropping millions of tons of garbage over 1/3 of the planet? We already have thousands of space debris from past satellites and rockets still orbiting the Earth, most will eventually burn up in the atmosphere, and soon the Hubble telescope will be allowed to fly off into space once it out-lives its usefulness to NASA, so I can't see any way that sending garbage into space let alone the Sun would be a "solution." I also don't want to wake up one morning and hear on the news that 50,000 tonnes of someone's waste extract landed on my house, or that a garbage ball is falling back toward Earth like an episode of Futurama.
