Fortnightly.

 

No mickey mouse stuff yet praise be to Allah.

We have 3 bins, 2 for regular rubbish (one of those bins we 'gained') but if we do fill it the binmen empty it.  They get emptied once a week and the recycling one gets emptied once a fortnight.  

 

Mr C takes our bins in to work and cleans them there.

One white canvas bag for cardboard and plastic. One blue canvas bag for newspapers. One blue box for alcohol containers. All fortnightly. One green wheely bin for everything else collected weekly.

Industrial size bin with no recycling required.  Weekly collection by a private company and fully cleaned. 

Brown bin for garden and food waste - collected weekly

Blue plastic box for glass and tins - collected fortnightly

White canvas bag for newspapers - collected fortnightly

Black bin for household waste which can't be recycled - collected fortnightly

Green canvas bag for plastic bottles etc - collected monthly.

 

Sons clean the bins using the powerwasher.

Garden Bin

Recycling Bin

Everything else Bin

 

Ours are emptied fortnightly, the garden one they don't empty at this time of year, I have my bin cleaned in the summer but not in the winter, they charge £2

Hmm we only have 2 bins.  A blue one for recycling and a black one for everything else yet they are being strict when it comes to the black one and won't empty it if it's even slightly open.  They are only done on a fortnightly basis and we're constantly having to go to the dump with stuff inbetween collections.

 

I think the brown bin is badly needed and they've given them to some towns in the area but not ours 

4.

1 fortnightly

3 weekly

 

If the bins are not put on the edge of the property they are not emptied.

When they are emptied they are not always left where they where put. Indeed, most times they are not even left outside the house.

 

Tuesdays, when three of the four are emptied, its like a dodgems game if you have to walk down the road. Weaving in and out of bins 

We don't have wheelie bins, or bins..    I really really wish we did. 

 

We are provided with black bags for general household waste, clear bags for plastics & cardboard, and a green plastic container for tins & bottles, and white Hessian bags for garden waste

 

Weekly collections for household waste, then we have alternate weeks on the recycled stuff. 

 

The binmen are good, regular as clockwork, once a week..   and if its a bank holiday weekend then everyone knows their collection will be a day later, with the Friday peeps stuff getting collected on a Saturday.   Can't complain really

 

Two massive communal ones.

 

Weekly.

 

The sometimes can't be bothered to push the bins all the way into their brick built storage areas.

Its fantastic where we live..you can buy a wheely bin bag for €10, tie it on your bin and put it out every fortnight if you want but we don't have alot of waste so it could be every 1 to 2 months..recycling is every other fortnight and the bags for that are €2.50..all glass we take down the bottle bank ourselves..

Remember the days when you only had a bin and the binmen used to come to your garden and lift it over their shoulder resting on their backs and walk back to the truck with it, and even better if they spilled anything out of it they used to sweep it up and not let it blow every where like they do these days.  #nostalgia

We have large communal bins emptied twice a week, more because i live near the sea and have the seagull problem, plus always aware of rats Sister lives about two miles away and has wheelie bins, only emptied once a fortnight, and has different coloured small bins she has to keep in the house for newspapers etc. If the wheelie bin doesnt close the bin men wont empty them , nor pick up anything in bags either on top, or beside them

3 1/2 A normal bin A recycling bin A garden bin And a big box for glass They're emptied fortnightly, alternating recycling/normal rubbish and the garden bin is only emptied in summer, also fortnightly. I've never had them cleaned, I don't know what they charge. We do wash them out ourselves with the hose though. Also, they don't seem to have an issue with the lid, mine's frequently fuller than it should be but they've always emptied it. They do have a habit of just chucking the bins back anywhere though, and I mean chucking! I've seen them nearly hit my neighbours car

Same They empty them really noisily at about 6am on a Tuesday

We used have 4 bins , now we have 3 , and two are collected one week , and one the next . So basically a collection every week .

 

I'm fortunate that they seem to come between 8.30 - 9.00. 6am is a bit early me thinks... 

Hmm I feel hard done by now

One of out collections is about mid -day, the other at about 8 a.m

Until April (when we will get 4 wheelie bins)  we have black bags for household waste which is collected every week on a Monday morning.  At the same time we have green bags for garden waste which are collected every 2 weeks.  You must not tie these bags and only garden waste without any soil is allowed in them.  The alternate week we have a green box where you put bottles and jars and cans but no caps.  We also have a blue box for paper and cardboard.

 

As of April at very great expense, we're allegedly having  wheelie bins for all of the above 

One green  -Household waste - fortnightly. They dont have a problem with open lids or extra bags.

 

One brown - Garden waste Only emptied in summer/spring months, i think is weekly as i've never put it out and it not be emptied

 

One Brown with grey lid - Recycling Fortnightly opposite week to my green bin

I wouldn't mind so much really, but there does seem to be a lot of crashing around and banging

Three - a grey one for ordinary rubbish, a green one for garden waste and a blue one for recycling with a caddy inside it for papers, and plastic and glass and cardboard goes in the body of the bin.

 

I put the recycling one and the ordinary one out every two weeks, and the green one (when collections start again) the week in between.

 

I don't have them cleaned. I wouldn't pay it 

I have four wheelie  bins Green for domestic waste,emptied fortnightly,Blue for paper/cardboard,plastic bottles,tins emptied fortnightly,Brown for garden waste,emptied fortnightly,but not in use during nov,dec jan. And a small purple wheelie bin for glass emptied monthly.luckily my garden is pretty big .(Glasgow)

Weekly collections, recycling bins for food, plastic, cardboard/ paper and tins/foil. The council have started charging for garden waste, so many people now just put it in their black bags! We just compost it, so no problem for us!

 

That's because they probably work on the theory "If I'm up, then every other bugger can get up too!".

 

Even though they take the bins past my window, I don't always hear then, especially since I had all new double glazing fitted.

 

3 bins weekly..... paper, bottles and general waste one week, garden and general waste the next week and a different firm cleans them at a cost 

 

 

general waste is normally between 6 and 7am
