I'm glad that our council (Powys) seem to have quietly dropped

refuse service, which made me worry that they were about to meddle with
it!

Well, if you want to pay more that's fine by me.

What I don't want to do is wheel a wheelie bin 100 yards up and down a
steep, uneven drive every week. Dumping bin bags suits me just fine.
