It just infuriates me that recycling seems to be the new religion and if you dare speak out against it you are reviled.

I do not mind recycling when it is my discisson to do so and I try to buy things without excess packaging but i'm sick of all the rules being forced upon society.

Then of course there is the £1000 fines we will entale if the recycling bins get the wrong things in them, I don't suppose this is the real reason to force us to recycle so more fines can be collected.

Young kids will soon learn the chaos they can cause the night the bins are left at the road side for collection by placing all manner of rubbish in the wrong bins.

And I am old enough to remember when the bins were collected and returned to our gardens not delivered by us and picked up as now fron the road side, soon the refuse collections will stop completely and we will end up delivering our rubbish to the recycling centres ourselves this is the thin edge of the wedge.

2. The customer has a unsuitable sized bin for the amount of people living there

how is that going to help the customer and more importantly its a health issue

Customer?

Paying tax isn't the same as paying for a service in a shop.

Okay you want to be pedantic. Customer=council tax payer. You knew what I meant but thought to make a issue of it and go one further.

I never said paying tax is the same as service in a shop

were quite lucky really, our bins are still emptied every week and because there are 5 of us in our family we get two bins.
Also our bins are collected on a monday with whether or not there is a bank holiday.

We have 4 recycle bins aswell 1 glass(even with labels on and any colour) 1 paper, i cans (with labels on and we don't have to clean them out either, but i do rinse them) and 1 for garden waste, only toruble is the recycle bins are collected monthly and ours are always full.

We even get our bins collected if the lids are up and the stuff we put next to our bins will get collected to.

I think we have the best bin men in the world as there always polite and i hadn't put my bins out one day in time for them to arrive and one of the men came and took them to the truck and brought them back again.

Perhaps its to do with the christmas gifts we get for our bin men just to keep them sweet?

I have no complaints about our dustbin but I would about the council if what the Op had was operated in my area and we had bins emptied on a Monday. In effect this penalising some households just because there collection falls on a Monday

I remember some years back before recycling that my council were planning on doing fortnightly refuse for those who have collections done on Mondays when a ban holiday falls and there was uproar about it

Perhaps OP should write to there MP/local councillor

ONLY IN BRITAIN

I think you'll find that in other countries people recycle.

In fact the UK has pretty shamfull rates of recycling.

I blame lazy people.

All the landfills are full.

If we all don't make the effort out green and plesent country will not be so for much longer.

Is fortnightly rubbish collection really that much of a nightmare?

It's not !!!! though - it's things that were bought in pristine condition and only turn to !!!! when randomly combined in a rubbish bin.
Unless you eat your beans out of discarded cans?

I still get my rubbish collected on a weekly basis - that is recycled rubbish and black sacks. There is no limit on the number of sacks we can dispose of either and to cap it off my council tax is not as high as £2000. Time to move, OP
