And another thing.
What happens to our old dustbins? Having converted 70,000 households to
wheelie bins, the council say it's the householder's responsibility to
dispose of their old bins. That's got to be 100,000+ plastic (mainly) and
metal bins? In an area where there's no plastic recycling, too. And quite
what people with no access to a car to transport their bin to the dump are
supposed to do is anybody's guess.

Cut the bottom off and use it as a compost bin.
You get to keep the compost instead of the council selling it back to you.
