So much for the discussion about the importance or not of the ecological
issue but the reality is no one will recycle anything when it has to sit
reeking around a kitchen for weeks on end now will they?

If I put the bags out they get wet, rifled by foxes and cats and encourage
mice whilst sitting around , not to mention I get wet putting stuff in them.
In the kitchen they create smell and are a mess and are simply under foot.

Exactly. My local council (Canterbury) used to have a schme where you
had a green wheelie bin for recycling, and a grey one for everything
else. Most rooms in the house were given two wate baskets, one for each,
and it all worked well.

They abruptly removed this system and moved to plastic bags. These blow
around when put out (and have to be put out the night before). There's
also nowhere to jkeep them in the house, and having a part-filled bag
kying around is just silly.

It all goes in the grey bin now.
