It was a far quicker process when everyone used bin bags.

Priorities.

It's far quicker and less hassle for me - the householder, the council
tax payer - to deal with a wheelie bin.

And - as far as I'm concerned, and especially when I look at that
monthly direct debit on my bank statement - I'm FAR more important
than the bloke who empties the bins.

This is 100% correct, as opposed to TNP's nonsense elsewhere in the thread.

The simple fact is that the bin is much better for the *consumer*, and
that is what counts. We only need put our black bin out once a month
because we don't generate enough stuff to require it to go out every
other week. The bin can sit around and because it closes completely,
unlike plastic sacks, it doesn't smell.


What tosh. The flies and maggots get in the bin no worries. Plastic bags
DO close completely if you tied them.


We only produce one sack with the recyclables every two weeks, too,
unlike e.g. Bob Eager who seems to produce four with only twice as many
people.

Further, having bins means we can get rid of at least some of the garden
waste every other week. Try shoving *that* in plastic sacks.


No we shove it in the garden where it belongs.
