Weekly bin collection.

So when we had weekly people were thick lazy and awkward? Honest mate I would leave it alone.

Years ago we had 1 bin collection a week. Now we have 1 bin collection a week. Its just that rubbish is split between 2 bins. Why is it that people managed back then, and now struggle after the increase to 1.5 was reduced back to 1 a week?

Leeds council collections have been fortnightly for each bin for about 8 years, and there's not rubbish all over the place here.

Barely even heard anyone mention it, even when it first changed. Why can't people from Sunderland deal with it?

I've never actually spoken to anyone who has complained about it so no idea where these people come from who pop up to complain in the papers and on social media, etc.

Well, actually I do have some idea but I better keep it to myself.

I thought it was the Government who had instructed the councils to start weekly collections again?

As a nation we produce more waste than ever. There will be people who can manage. Single people, one parent one child families. If all you worry about is your waste maybe a married couple with a small child can manage. I can’t so this is good for me.
It doesn’t mean I’m a minger or thick or a chav or poor or unemployed.
It means I have a bigger family and more waste. Surely. Or can you not understand that?

Me our lass a 23 year old a 17 year old and a 10 year old. The 23 and 17 year get enough parcels to fill a wheelie bin per week. You will understand soon enough. The three of them eat more than us.

Weve had 20 odd years of the green/recycle agenda so again why are people producing more waste? They shouldnt be really

Bins on the pier.
More litter pickers.
A big announcement for the vaux site.
1001 regurgitated ways to mention the houses down the seafront being the start of something big.
I bet keel square and the engine rooms is mentioned.
Tall ships tall ships and tall ships.


Let’s see the tennants in the Vaux office block by may, seen as we were told they would be in by January.

Because we consune more food that’s has more packaging more plastic bottles. I would imagine bottles water sales has rocketed in the last 20 year. Online sales involving packaging is one of our personal problems. More electrical products that get more often come within waste. More takeaways. More alcohol being consumed at home. The list goes on marra. All these things are across the board. Not everyone will be affected by these like I say but most will. That’s why most people want weeklys back.

I’d be happy with an extra recycle bin tbf and keep it fornightly, I don’t mind recycling waste standing around for a fortnight but it’s a step forward.
