3. 3 or 4 - we're currently 'tidying' up before moving.

4. enough to put in 2 bags (but we can't put in an actual bag)
We live in Northern Ireland and our bins are emptied alternatively fortnightly (black bin household waste, blue bin recycling). This system has been here a few years now and its fine if you have room to store the 2 wheelies.
I wish your son well
