Letter – Recycling is a Waste of Time

WHY can’t we go back to the old bins? Previously our bin was emptied every week. Now we are supposed to sort our rubbish into recyclable materials and ordinary household waste. The recycling is collected one week and the ordinary rubbish the next.
My point is that the rubbish is collected only once a fortnight as opposed to once a week, yet our bin is barely twice the size.
The council say that if we are recycling properly we shouldn’t fill the bin within a fortnight. Well we are a family of three and routinely produce 15 extra bin bags of rubbish. Explain that.
