Nope, I am against that - trouble with a two week pickup is, if you miss one (say you're out that day or away for a short break) your rubbish would have to wait up to 4 weeks to get picked up, rather than two as at present. That's just too long to my view.
All that psuedo-science to say that two weeks is long enough to avoid maggots forming just doens't convince me either I am afraid!

There was a rticle how there is a soar in rats in this country.
with a two week collection this can only get worse.
the bin men need to be more flexable as it is.sometime you cant get it all in the one bin you are provided and the bin men wont take just bags.
no wonder there is such a increase in fly tipping. |

If the council collected my rubbish (which they don't) I would like it at least once a week - I don't get that service but I pay for it in my council tax

Make sure the debate stays in the public eye and when the local elections come round only vote for someone who will make sure it stays at once a week. |
