Cleatus   10 #1 Posted June 8, 2012 I've just read on the Sheffield Star's website that the introduction of fortnightly bin collections will start next month. I can't remember that being on the agenda when Labour asked me to vote for them at the last local election. Kept that one up their sleeve didn't they. What a little miracle worker Jack Scott is. First the dump-it sites and now the bins. How are we going to accommodate all the fly tippers? Perhaps if Jack Scott is reading any of this he'd like to leave his address so that we can re-direct them to his street. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Bloomdido   10 #2 Posted June 8, 2012 I think fortnightly collections are a great idea. It will get people thinking about what they need to consume and throw away. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Bonjon   10 #5 Posted June 8, 2012 Any extra waste will just go in the bottom of the blue bin, I will just make sure card is at the top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Redyam   10 #6 Posted June 8, 2012 Your title is wrong. It's a fortnightly black bin collection. The other week is blue bin collection. So you still get waste collected 'weekly', it alternates between the blue and black. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
JFKvsNixon   10 #7 Posted June 8, 2012 My black bin has been collected fortnightly for a few years now, and sometimes when I put it out it's only three quarters full. It does help that we've only got one bin for recycling so it's easy to keep that one topped up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

If my bin gets full I'll just leave rubbish bags in bin space and dump them at side of bin on collection day, I don't think they're supposed to take them but they usually do here.
