If households recycle properly the household one might only 'need' emptying once a month.

That would seem about right Jan, not sure what will be going in the household one to be honest?

At the moment I can only think of the plastic that does not have the recycle symbol and the items mentioned below.
For any recycler any old or torn clothing, shoes, bags and upholstery items can go to charity shops who get money for them from the 'rag man'.

Westbury Road not having the new bins, Folkestone Road have got theirs today, what an eyesore, blocking the pavements in places, could not get mobility car on path on the corner of Malvern Road, 12 bins just stuck on path outside what used to be the Engineer, I do not think this has been thought through very well

You're quite right Vic. It is the public's fault. It's very selfish to keep the bins outside of their house. I've made space in my lounge and store all the bins there and have moved the television into the kitchen. It's cramped a little but that's the price we have to pay to save the dying planet I guess.

how very public spirited of you philip.
there seems to be a few teething problems here, sheila mentions the folkestone road - there seems plenty of off pavement space there for the bins.
the clarendons and westbury road are not suitable, a bit surprised that my road is not getting them.
on my side all the way from top to bottom there is space in each front garden.
more complicated on the other so i suppose that it has to be the whole road or nothing.

seems too many per house judging by what i have seen this morning.
around the back of these two houses are two giant "sita" bins also.

There's talk of an extra bin being delivered within the next year to take unwanted bank notes following the expected age of hyperinflation which may well occur over the next few years. Anyone with a wood burning stove might be better off using them for heating but of course that increases their carbon footprint and as we all know is a very bad thing indeed.

Whilst I am all for recycling, I have the following issues
a) nowhere to put them, I live on the raised pavement area of London Road there are 2 steps up from the pavement to my frontage which is inappropriate to store bins on
b) I leave for work early int he morning and return late in the evening - so no-one to move the bins if we could have them - which then clearly advertises no one is at home

the added problem is that of shift workers, particularly those who work on the ferries.
they would be leaving theres outside for a week or more at a time.
