The Council have already reduced the size of the grey bin by 50%, now they want to reduce collections to every fortnight whilst also introducing a food waste bin.

So I have the following questions, if the Council reduce collections to every fortnight, the grey bin will be over flowing and will not hold two weeks of rubbish, what are we supposed to do?

How do the Council intend to deal with the increased vermin issues these changes will result in?

What saving is the Council expecting to make, as they will have twice as much rubbish to collect every fortnight?

Was it not short sighted to remove and issue the smaller rubbish bins?

What are the bin men going to do on the week they do not do the collection? Are they going part time?

Where are we supposed to keep the food waste bin?

What are the cost savings for the food waste?

What will be the frequency of the food waste collection?

Will the food waste result in an additional collection every week/every other week?

Will the third collection result in additional vehicles solely for the food collection waste?

What are the Council going to do if I do not wish to participate in the food waste collection?

Have the Council not heard of the saying "if it ain't broke don't fix it"?

If the Council are going to reduce the overall waste collection service, HOW MUCH ARE THE COUNCIL GOING TO REDUCE THE COUNCIL TAX AS THEY ARE CHANGING THE SERVICE?

If the Council implement this system, I for one will cease all recycling and EVERYTHING is going in the grey rubbish bin.
