Having sat down and looked at this rationally I think it would work, for us. Two green bins, one black bin and the brown bin. Not sure about the food waste bin, thats a new one to me. OK, not ideal having four bins sitting outside our house but if it works and the green waste is used properly while the recyclate is used properly then I don't have an issue.

However, we have a large front yard and although four bins may not be aesthetically pleasing we can live with it. Question is, those houses with very small or no front yards that have been converted into flats. Where do their bins go?

Will FH now be known as Forest (lots of bins on the pavement) Hill?
