In one particularly ridiculous incident, a co-worker of mine got a letter from the council complaining about the junk in their garden, whilst waiting for the same council to uplift said junk.

It's quicker and more convenient to just hire a van and make a trip to the nearest dump - and only costs about £20 more. Completely useless service.

True and on top of that they won't take it if it's wet.Fecking useless.

We have weekly rubbish, recycling and green waste (grass, leaves etc), how long can it last

Not really as all 3 would be covered by 9 points and after that it's a nominal charge of 20 quid. If you replace your white goods most companies will take away the broken one anyway so I really don't see a huge issue with it

Our collections are fortnightly, we have green (recycling) black (general) and brown ( garden waste) mine are never full. I compost my food waste and flatten any packaging, it's the same whine about having to compartmentalise waste as pay for carrier bags.
