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.
but that required manual handling with the risk of repetitive strain
injuries.

It wasn't RSI - it was cuts from sharp objects, broken glass,
etc. poking through the bags. Also clearing up burst bags in
the middle of the road.

Agreed,. That is a job best left to councillors. Bin men are too
educated for it.
