4 weekly sounds horrendous, still be the same amount of rubbish and recycling to pick up and will take just as long, any time saved would be lost again by the truck having to go and empty more often.  |
We have fortnightly everything which is a problem for basic waste. I found a dead pidgeon next to my back door and put it in with the household waste. When I opened the lid when putting the wheelie bin outside it was swarming with maggots. I have never had that before. But as it had been in there for nearly two weeks in hot weather that was the result. I had to bleach and scrub the damn thing and still felt 'infected'. It was awful.
