Hi Guy. All these seperate collections mentioned below have been going on for
years in Filton Bristol which is now part of South Gloustershire. The black bin
is normal rubish. The green been is for Garden waste which they now have to pay
for if they want it taken away, there is green plastic basket for cans another
one for glass, another box for cardboard and a bag for newspaper etc. As they
now have to pay for garden waste to be removed it won't be long before they
will have to pay for the others. Oh I forgot the is a brown waste bin for food
which has a lockable lid.
I know this to be true as my daughter lives there and as it is one of 4 flats I
will leave you to imagine what their paths etc look like. Di

Every home in the country will have to cope with compulsory rubbish recycling
schemes by next year, according to papers released by ministers yesterday.
Instructions prepared for councils have revealed a move to bring in separate
collections of paper, metal, plastic and glass in order to meet recycling
targets set by Brussels.
This will mean that many homes will need more bins and any local councils which
have clung to traditional weekly bin rounds – there are thought to be around
100 in England and Wales – will have to establish compulsory recycling systems.

Ministers have laid out plans for all households to have multiple recycling
systems for glass, paper and metal
Although some of the materials can be collected in the same bins, documents
prepared by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra)
explain that this can rarely be done for glass – and claim that in other cases
separate bins will often prove ‘necessary’.
The push for multi-bin rubbish collection systems follows new figures which
show that the amount of household refuse successfully sent for recycling is now
going down rather than up.

The statistics, which were released yesterday by Defra, show that in September
last year the recycling rate of waste from households was 43.9 per cent – down
from 44.1 per cent the year before.
A spokesman for Defra said: ‘We are working to ensure we meet an EU target to
recycle 50 per cent of household waste.

‘Everyone has a role to play and we want local authorities working with waste
management companies to make it as easy for people to recycle as possible.’
But Doretta Cocks, a spokesman for the Campaign for Weekly Waste Collections,
said: ‘The Government has been going in the wrong direction. They are going to
struggle to meet the target.
‘People are resentful. A lot of people don’t bother to recycle properly now.
They say that if the council isn’t bothered to collect the rubbish once a week,
then I’m not bothered about recycling properly.’
