Perhaps we could start by the council collecting the rubbish every week
in
the first place. And picking up the rubbish that spills out of ripped
binbags when they haven't collected it for three weeks.

Heck if they collected it every 2 weeks I'd do it. Here they just take
the p, making the system unworkable. Sorry but I'm not willing to have
big piles of rubbish mount up for 1 month plus, taking it in and out
hoping they'll collect it some day. I'm on the verge of giving up
rubbish recycling altogether. Theyre just not willing to take the
stuff.

Here they have a re-cycling scheme. I don't bother as it is needless.
