I rarely fill my green bin in a single week. I often don't bother putting it out because it can wait a week, but I appreciate that others may have larger households who may regularly use their entire green bin. I wonder if it will be same for food waste which really needs weekly collection?

With the black bin the only problem with fortnightly collection comes when you forget which week it is and miss a collection (or the road is blocked or the bin collection just skips you without reason). Then you have a month's worth of rubbish crammed in there.

Hopefully the Taxpayers Alliance will recognise that reduced bin collection frequency is better than reduced social services or closing libraries and leisure centres.
