Eh? Isn’t it reasonable to expect councils to have different collection days? What does it matter anyway - don’t you just need to know your own collection times?
England has for years lagged on the recycling front. It’s noticeable whenever I cross back over the border. It’s about time they sorted you out 👍

well there was almost a riot in BN12
They didnt take the food waste on Monday, had to come back on Tuesday for it
It’s a separate vehicle that comes to take the food waste though so I expected it to be a different day, lots of people panicking about that on FB as well.

Yeah I’m no questioning it, just saying about the discussions on FB etc.

In Benters we have the following.
Black bin general crap.
Green bin plastics/tins
Red bin cardboard.
Food caddie.
Brown bin garden waste which is £55 per year once you have bought the said bin.
What are you worried about.. my brother's plastic wheelie recycling bin wasn't empty a few weeks ago because he had put the wrong type of plastic in it... apparently that plastic recycling should go in the non recycling bin... wtf.
Next time he put the same plastic which you cannot recycle and should go in the non recycling bin in the middle of plastic recycling bin so the 'bin men' couldn't see it and they emptied the plastic recycling bin as normal. It gave him a bit of pleasure thinking a bod is going to be looking at it during some stage of the recycling cursing about some c**t has put the wrong type of plastic in the plastic recycling.

It’s all sodding ridiculous, Binmen around my way don’t even care. They’ll constantly empty the black (general waste) when it’s meant to be the green (recycling). A few months back I needed to get rid of a load of turf and mud, gave them a case of Peroni and two minutes late it’s in the back of truck. No chance of me separating food waste either when they implement those bins.

Yep. For the last twenty odd years we've had a black bin for general rubbish, blue bin for paper and cardboard, green bin for glass and plastic and a brown bin for food and garden waste.
Always collected on a Tuesday in rotation, except the brown brown which is every other Tuesday.
I'm amazed when I see full bags of rubbish in the streets in England on collection day. Surely the rats and foxes get into them.
Don't cry because it's over; smile because it happened.
On my walk the other day I noticed in one back garden there was about 60 bins. A little further up the road I noticed another back garden with about 50 bins. Then I realised that the numbers of the houses were 30 and 40. Poor old bin man must have got confused with all this advice about putting your house number on the bins.
