WHAT an outrage — the council's move to downgrade current waste bins from 240 litre to 140 litres.

I have a family of six and recycle everything and make weekly trips to the recycling centre. My grey refuse bin is full after six days although my paper and plastic bins are full at the two week stage.

For some family's this could be ideal but I fail to see what use downgrading my grey bin, which is already full before the week is out, could possibly achieve, except for the council to save more money to then to waste it on other useless projects.
