When I was young, we dug up (over several years), several smallish yew trees in the garden, they looked lovely trimmed with decorations!

The point is there is absoluely no need to have these bins at all. There is a perfectly adequate and cheaper alternative available, boxes and bags. And I'm certainly not wheeling mine through my house. The only place I'd have room for them in my small garden is in the middle of my tiny lawn. They'd look lovely there..

As I have asked before, why will they chuck a purple bag in the lorry and not a black one? It's just sheer bloody mindedness.

the confusion gets deeper, every house down my road has put everything out, hoping it will be collected.
grey bins, blue bins, black boxes, food caddies and the traditional black bags adorn the road as far as the eye can see.

There was a Calendar advising which bins would be collected

Not much good if you can not read English.

Yes Sue there is a calendar, one week is food waste and rubbish and the next week is food waste and recycling.
On our food waste and rubbish week they didn't collect the rubbish because it was in a white bag and not a black bag but it was inside the bin

this really is becoming silly season, wrong coloured bag indeed.
incidentally my calendar indicated that the blue recycling bin would not be emptied this week, everybody else pushed theirs to the front gate, sheepishly i followed suit.
lo and behold they emptied it.
on a positive note the streets could be more litter free, the chap opposite me leaves his bin outside and passers by are depositing rubbish in it rather than throwing it down.
