Shite

In my city we have had two weekly collections for years with recyclables on alternate weeks. Most cope well but xmas and windy weather has had its impact. Thankfully, our local tip is only a mile away and the staff are helpful.
When visiting mum in law on way to home games I drop her garden rubbish off at Thornton Curtis recycling centre which is clean and well managed. Fine for responsible middle class car owners I guess but harder for folk in less advantaged circumstances.
We all have too much stuff. There are lots of ways and places to legally dispose of unwanted items, often in supermarket carparks. The two weekly thing is manageable for the great majority but some will always struggle, especially with their conscience.

Two weekly collections are fine IMHO, as long as we have proper wheelie bins to put the rubbish in, these stupid containers are hardly  big enough for a couple let alone a family, oh and by the way, Town are shite 😔

You can’t moan,  most of you voted this mob in

Whereas on the streets of affluent London, where the gold pavements are littered with stab victims and the melting flesh remnants of acid attacks....i know what i would rather see.

If NE Lincs council announced a £20 or £30 per household rise in council tax to revert to weekly collections and increased litter patrols half the town would blow a gasket....

It seems to go up by way more than that each year for me and the services reduce, appreciate they always seem strapped but in my dealings I have not been at all impressed with them. Bi weekly collections should work fine for the rest of the year. Double up at Xmas

Problem is at Christmas and New Year there's much more rubbish and fewer days to collect it on.

Where's Sasha when you really need him?

Been having fortnightly collections in N Lincs for a while now, manage not to have rubbish blowing all over the place/piles of rubbish in the streets.

It’s just pure laziness in my opinion. I moved from N.E.Lincs to N.Lincs a few years ago and never found it a problem going from weekly to two weekly collections and must admit it’s made me more aware of what I put in each bin. People put a couple of full bin bags in and think their wheelie bin is full, nothing wrong with getting on your bin and stomping it down to make more room 😂

or just tip your rubbish straight into the wheelie bin....bin bags are useful but as you say they waste an awful lot of space in a wheelie bin.

There is some garbage on this thread same old hissy fitting Corbynista's! anything to attack the government when we have this minor problem every new year. My only complaint is the design of these excrement little recycling boxes in other area's they get small wheelie bins I'd be surprised if it wasn't a local council decision.
