when we enquired as to the collection days for these various things we were told to stick it all in the rubbish bin, no collections for recycling!
I thought this was now a legal requirement to provide collections for recycling, clearly not.
Does your area provide collections to recycle household rubbish/items?

I'm not telling you where I live, Mike. You're only a bus ride away and you strike me as a bit of a hothead.;)
I live in a complex of flats etc. & we use very large,communal bins.
The crux of the article I read was that, because of legal requirements, every council insisted that householders seperated their rubbish but they didn't all have the facilities to deal with it. I vaguely remember they were paying fines but as I said, it was a few years ago. I expect most of them have,now, invested in recycling facilities.

The houses here have two big bins plus bags for garden waste. If you live in a flat like I do,there is no provision. All our rubbish goes into three giant bins. Of they are meant to be separate,it would make no difference to some of the slobs here. They just throw stuff on the floor. Its a feast for the bloody seagulls.
I take great exception to what you have said svejk, even though it was probably said tongue in cheek. I was only trying to give a reply to ratter that he might have found it useful. The question was not directed at you anyway. I have better things to do with my very-little spare time than hop on a bus to see you.
I find it hard to believe that any Council in Britain isn't doing doorstep collections of different type of waste. I don't have the slightest problem with telling anybody that wants to know that I live in Swansea, and our Council are trying their best to recycle as much waste as possible. But even then, there are some ignorant and stupid householders, some living opposite me, that still put out 10 - 15 blacks bags very other week but don't use the green or pink bags at all. This isn't the way to go if we want to stop using landfill...its only common sense after all.

In Manchester we have a blue bin for paper, brown for glass/plastic, green for garden and food waste and grey for everything else and you can order extra smaller bins and boxes and large bags from the council. Green is collected every week, all the others once a fortnight with alternate bins each week.
Just down the road in Moss Side it got ridiculous (especially when bin collections became less frequent) as there are really long terraced streets with a lot of houses and it just became a complete mess including all sorts dumped at the end of the ginnels (even full suites been chucked out) so the council has put large bins down the ginnels (think Coronation Street - passageway between back to back houses) and it has made a big difference from the street ends anyway.
There is still a bit of an issue further down with a lot of the run down houses largely occupied by students.

Ratter - Gigryn Farm is amazing at feeding time for all the red kites, buzzards, rooks and even a heron last time I was there!!
Recycling on Anglesey - normal black wheely bin got general household waste, green wheely bin for garden waste for composting, red bin for cardboard/paper, blue box for cans, glass, and plastics and a brown one for food waste. The green and black bins are emptied on alternate weeks, the rest are done weekly.
