SO Cllr Nick Peel is now a waste expert is he.
The stupid idea of reducing the size of our general waste bin is ridiculous, larger families cannot manage with a smaller bin and it will just lead to more fly tipping. My recycle bins are full every two weeks and there are lots of items that the plastic bin will not take. So if you want to waste £2m on smaller bins I am afraid that a weekly collection will have to be brought in.
How is this going to pay the £2m back as the bin wagons will still do the same rounds and the council will not have to collect illegally dumped bags because all our bins are full.
