I was idly watching the refuse collection this morning and one thing
that struck me was the amount of time it takes to empty just one of
them. Take the bin to the back of the wagon, hook it up and press the
button for the rise, wait for it to empty and then want for it to be
dropped off again, then return the bin to the edge of the property.

It was a far quicker process when everyone used bin bags. OK I know
they were subject to animals ripping them open, but most of that risk
could have been taken away by the use of an open top plastic box to
drop the bin bag in. One for each bag that was regularly put out for
collection.



I agree, but why stop there? - the plastic box would have to have a lid,
otherwise meat and bones etc would attract flies and vermin, and if it did
have a lid, there wouldn't be any need for the refuse to be bagged, thus
saving the council tax payer money, as the council wouldn't have to supply
thousands of bin bags every week, but then it would probably be a pain in
the arse to lift up, but if handles were fitted it would make things much
easier.... except for pensioners and pregnant women etc... but if small
wheels were attatched to the bottom, the whole thing might just work, why
not write to your local council and tell them?
