"Im just happy to be living in Denbighshire " If they try that round here then i will empty my bin in their fucking council offices. I know those cunts wouldn't change the bin size either. Literally people in Wales are burning their rubbish in the back garden. It's like we're going back to the dark ages (aka the 70's) | |||

"Actually i have just read a news article from June this year saying that Denbighshire CC was looking at the effectiveness of changing to monthly bin collections for general waste (household) but if they did they would have to make the receptacles twice as big to accommodate the extra waste. The report also says that recyclable and food waste would change to a weekly collection and a fortnightly collection of clothing and small appliances would be brought in.. Currently its a fortnightly collection, one week general waste, the next recyclable and food waste weekly so it looks like a better deal to me if they changed tbh .." Look at the news today. It's happening | |||

It would only take about an hour an a half each way! Grand Talk about race to the bottom. It shouldn’t even be on the cards to discuss - it’s disgusting enough as it is. And that’s on a two weekly collection. | |||

You know nothing of who I care about. But living in a shit rat infested environment because the government deem basic sanitation fair game for cuts, when we live in one of the richest countries in the world is not my idea of great forward thinking. The fact that you fall for the bullshit that other important services will be cut tells me you’ll swallow any old shite, so I’d recommend everyone drops their rubbish around your house and as it will be piling up I’m sure you’d find a solution, as you said earlier. | |||

"Ok so here’s my 2p worth, I don’t get a bin, when I moved here I didn’t know this, when I ask why they say because there’s nowhere to put one (it’s a terraced streetand I have no garden, there actually is a spot that others get to use but apparently not me and my neighbor for some reason) when I asked what I’m expected to do they tell me to go to the tip, I don’t drive and most of my friends don’t either, luckily there’s a commercial bin for some restaurants at the end of the road so I use that but if I get caught there’s a chance I can be fined, I’d prefer to have one myself even if it was only emptied every 3 weeks As for cuts, they go on and on about these damn cuts and how someone will suffer consequences yet never consider cutting from politicians wages, how about we put politicians on min wage, that’ll save a fortune " I agree with you but that's too easy to do that | |||

" Don't the government cut the budgets of each council not decide what the councils make the cuts to? Asking for a friend I think it would be great if everyone had a weekly bin collection but in all seriousness if the council sent out a letter saying to you that we can go back to weekly collection but another service will suffer and get cuts but it won't affect you in anyway would you agree?

"It is also to do with trying to make us recycle properly and create less unnecessary waste such as throwing away food that is fine but a day over its sell by date or using things with less or no packaging..instead of everything going to landfill. " I do recycle properly and try to throw away the least amount of food stuff too but I still have 2 bin bags of rubbish every week. I could squeeze in another-if they don't refuse to take a bin that doesn't have the lid closed properly. That would mean 5 bags of rubbish that wouldn't fit in my bin per month. Even cutting down my rubbish by half that would be 2 and a half bags per month. Neither of us drives and I don't think tfl would take kindly to me taking them on the bus. | |||

"What I don’t understand is people carefully separate their rubbish into different bins and they come along and chuck them in the same dustcart (not separated) " When I lived in Nottingham they would often do this. We were very close to the waste incinerator which provided district heating for an entire suburb. If the incinerator was running low on fuel the bin lorries would come out and empty every bin and recycling bin on the street on any random day, not the designated collection day. The amusing thing was that a few days after they had gathered their extra waste to burn, we would often receive a letter warning that they may fine you for leaving our bins outside the front of our houses on the little terraced streets | |||
