My OH engaged in a "full and frank" discussion with the recycling man. who came round recently. To the extent that he didn't give us a leaflet, as we pointed out it would go straight in the recycling bin.

However, we've not been notified that we're getting a new black bin, and we only live a couple of streets away from Roz. What a waste - there's absolutely nothing wrong with our old bin and wouldn't it be "un-green" to replace it pointlessly? I wonder what will happen to the old bins? Can Cllr. Wise shed any light?

Nor did we have any stickers applied. We still use the green boxes (x 2) rather than a green bin, as we can hide those in the porch, whereas we've nowhere to store another wheely bin.
