    :(:(:( Yes every 3 weeks & then they 'miss' emptying some.

    You can ask for an extra free bin but as yet no one has received one - so rubbish over flows, gets torn apart. This area is turning into a filthy town.
    Fly tipping has started & also fires.

    People are drowning in rubbish & then they say it may change to 4 weeks :eek::eek::eek:

    We swapped our black refuse bin for a smaller one years ago and got a bigger blue recycling one that only gets collected every other week but now they are moving both collections to every other week. :eek:

    Thankfully we don't create much rubbish it's either recycling or compost. :cool:

    Oh Snap, 4 weeks would be ridiculous. :(

    We don't know how lucky we are in some areas we have a hotline if our bins are ever missed and they have a little van that comes in the evening. :cool:
