I've said in previous postings that I have no problem with the bins per se. The problem is that DDC seem to have the "one size fits all" mentality where these monstrosities have to fit in even the smallest of properties.
I was talking to Vic (the man of the people) Matcham on Tuesday and he suggested the obvious solution to multiple occupancies. Why not share? Instead of a large house with 5 flats and 10 large bins in the front garden, why not a fewer number that they can share?
DDC have no flexibilty in this.
Incidentaly, my talks with DDC have been with this lady, the one who categorically stated that black bags will not be collected:-
