    Cardiff - Changes to your recycling

    To save you from reading the green book all you need to do is put the red bag and the blue bag in the blue bin, put the blue bin in the black bin, add all your waste on top, and place out for curbside collection.

    What's wrong with black bin (fortnightly), green bags, food waste (weekly), garden waste (whenever they feel).

    Is this new system easier for them to collect?

    Haven't got this green book that you talk off as nothing has changed here (yet).
    Happy to do my bit though - it can't be that inconvenient surely.

    If you use the black bins correctly what is going to rot?
    Food waste is collected weekly in brown bins.So no problems.

    Bits of food are probably stuck on the waste containers, and dead rats and hedgehogs if you put them in the bin. Unless your Swansea fan neighbors get into them first.

    Might have to change the song from dust bins to red Hession recycling bags?

    It will be OK for me and most people that have side access, a nightmare for terraced houses.

    The hessian bags look rubbish and will fill up with rain water the cardboard and paper will be soaked and they blow around the streets, the glass blue bin looks much better they probably should have gone for similar bins maybe a bit bigger.

    It would be a nightmare in a small busy house with lots of children and rubbish and don't have side access.

    I'll give it a go but if it's too much hassle I'll black bin it bar the glass, I think they'll end up worse off by it.

    The green bags were pretty good simple and used by most people, as usual, if something is OK and working quite well, the council have to step in, make things a lot worse and feck it all up.

    Its so that the council can save a few shekels while simultaneously spending £200 million on an uneeded new arena.

    The councils waster mangement department is a joke, real toxic workplace culture there.

    Funnily enough a mate of mine was a binman with the council for 20 odd years, he’s been on and on for years about how bad it is, often using the phrase “toxic”….he left recently for another firm and cannot believe the difference

    Earlier today had a leaflet posted through letterbox, from Unite. They say they will be coming round shortly to ask for signatures to a petition which will be put to the council, asking them to 'get back round the table for negotiations..'. Whatever the rights of wrongs of a dispute, I really don't think the general public should be used as a bargaining tool..

    In my council area (Huntingdonshire) we have 3 bins, blue for recycle stuff like paper and plastic, green for garden waste, grass etc, black for everything else. Blue and black every two weeks on Thursday. So blue this week and black next week etc. The green bin is every 4 weeks on Wednesday. Now the council are stopping the green bin to save money but they will offer a special service for the early bird price of only £50 a year to have your green bin emptied. I can't remember the last time I remembered to put my green bin out on time. I don't think I will bother. Further east I have heard that Newmarket are changing to 5 different bins very soon.

    Central government cuts .....I said cuts but could have said something else ....means that green waste is the first to be charged for......it could be argued you are lucky to have a lawn and should take it to the tip yourself anyway in these hard times
