I have
Black Wheelie bin - general rubbish that doesn't full under any other category bi-weekly
Green Wheelie bin - garden waste weekly (pay for that one)
Brown small bin - food waste -weekly
Black box - tins, glass, paper, batteries, shoes, etc - weekly
Cardboard - weekly
White plastic bag - plastics - weekly
And we take drinks cartons to the supermarket to recycle.
And veggie waste goes into my compost bin.
As the amount that can go in the black bin goes down I can see the bi-weekly collection becoming monthly perhaps.
