Our council has decided to change their waste removal and recycling policy. We are now all recycling and having our bins (recyclable and regular waste) collected only every other week.

| 08-5-2008 | Maybe the people who have the problem with 2- weekly collections are the ones who throw away a third of the food they buy? | grumpyoldwoman |
| 11-1-2008 | I've recently been collecting my compostable kitchen waste in a seperate waste bin in my kitchen, in a compostable corn based "plastic" bag that itself is compostable. The council have refused to accept my entire wheelie bin load on principle it is contaminated waste. Whilst I accept t...more | Bagpuss |
| 18-10-2007 | We have had fortnightly collections for 2 years and it does seem to work, along with weekly recycling. Although if you are on holiday you have to get someone to put the wheelie bin out for you. You can fit quite alot in a wheelie bin. Maybe it cheating but we have an little incinorator to get rid ...more | jules |
| 12-9-2007 | I absolutely agree, I think it terrible that you cannot recycle your plastic along with all your other recycling. If they have to sort the paper from the foil and from the glass why can't they sort the plastic also. We have just come back from living in Australia and they recycle everything, it...more | Jo F |
| 25-8-2007 | The Lib Dems in Oxford should be booted out at the next election. The have turned the city into a wheelie bin nightmare. Everywhere you look there are boxes/overflowing wheelie bins/black bags/lilac bags and all we are told is, "the scheme is working". Well, dear couincil members it is not...more | Rubbish |
| 07-8-2007 | Our black (refuse) bin is collected every two weeks. The bin men used to take bags that were also placed out by the black bin on collection day. They do not even do this anymore. I complained to the council and they said the bin men should not take black bags that are placed next to the bin and w...more | Paul |

| 26-7-2007 | See More-butts... (this stupid filter won't allow me to write it as you did) I think you have a good point when you say that this policy forces people to recycle more. I agree, I think it does too. Unfortunately there are some families that simply cannot help but produce more rubbish than the bi...more | Freddie |
| 26-7-2007 | My council are introducing the alternate week collection (AWC), and are to supply us with a new blue wheelie for recycling.
We are a small family and recycle all we can at our village every weekend, we even pick up any cans etc, we find on the way. So as far as we are concerned the blue wheelie i...more | SteveK |
| 24-7-2007 | Unusually I'm not going to moan about this one. There are 5 people living in my house and as we recycle all our plastic bottles, glass jars, cardboard, paper, metal and food, we rarely fill up our unrecyclable rubbish bin. I'm no ecowarrior, I'm just doing my bit. We had a few maggots la...more | C. More-butts |

| 17-7-2007 | It is interesting to see that a commons committee has, within the last couple of days, strongly criticised the policy of two week collections. Now that they have realised that it is unpleasant then maybe the councils will be forced to listen.
On a personal note, I hate this system as there is a ver...more | Freddie |
