I do not see why this would attract any more vermin. The food waste collection will be weekly.

I can see why a building of 7 adults and 3 kids might need an extra green bin. Our 2+2 household often manages to fill our green bin. We actually produce very little grey bin waste, only one trip to the grey bin a week required. I find the recycling habit well worth it as would rather wash and squash packaging than make multiple trips a week with smelly bin bags.

We do compost fruit & veg scraps & peelings so there is very little food waste. I realise that is not an option for everyone though so can see why the council is doing this.
