The recycling bin goes out every two weeks

At the moment we get weekly collections of both wheelie bins (I choose
to put them out less frequently) but I gather the collections are due
to alternate between recycling and rubbish later this year ... might
bother larger households.

If it is anything like where we are, they'll have a system to cope with
larger housholds.

Our normal system is:

Green bin, 240l - food waste (plus garden waste if you pay an extra £40
a year) - collected weekly.

Grey bin, 120l - non-recyclable waste - collected fortnightly.

Blue bin, 240l - carboard and paper - collected monthly.

Black bin, 240l - plastic bottles, tins, cans and glass bottles -
collected monthly.

Leading to the green bin, plus one other, being collected every week.

For households with 5 or more residents, a 240l grey bin can be
requested instead of the 120l one. Additional blue and black bins can
also be requested.

That makes our black bag for general waste and clear recycle bag seem
overly complicated.
