Surely almost anything is more sensible than having four separate
collections from every house in the area? (As we have.)

Are these four collections made every week?

Here in Preston, Lancashire, we have a box for plastic bottles and
cardboard, a second box for paper, a third box for cans, a fourth box for
glass bottles and a brown wheelie bin for garden waste - all that is
collected one week and the following week is the collection for the grey
wheelie-bin for landfill rubbish.
