Hi AllWe have had fortnightly collections and multiple bins for several
years.We have green for household refuse,brown for garden waste,grey for
cardboard,paper,plastics and tin cans and blue box for glass. Recently I and
several neighbours had our garden waste bins left unemptied with a red sticker
on telling us to remove any soil or vegetable peelings !Apparently the rules
have changed again and now they only take grass cuttings,leaves and twigs.If we
don't obey "The Kremlin " we will have our bins removed

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 From: Guy Leven-Torres <senorburrito@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To:

More bins on the way in recycling drive: Every home in the country will be

commentsEvery 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.+2Ministers have laid out plans for all
households to have multiple recycling systems for glass, paper and
metalAlthough 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. More...The medical experts who refuse to use low-energy

Private rubbish collectors clean up as fortnightly collections leave household
bins overflowingThe 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.+2Figures show recycling in the UK has gone down rather than up
despite aims to recycle 50 per cent of 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.’Read more:
