Do you have to sort your rubbish,we have a bin and a blue box,a red box and red bag, not looking forward to this in the bad weather,all jars and tin must be washed and clean

Aye, back in the day, when life was so simple! The binmen used to go around the back of the house to get the bin from the bin place (we had a coal place as well!) Shoulder the bin, empty and bring it back!
I remember years ago, going to my aunties in Bristol, I was amazed at the huge variety of bins and boxes for everything! The thought of washing everything to recycle was a shock!
Little did i know, it would eventually happen here! 4 great big wheelie bins! Drives me nuts!
I actually wrote a poem about the Bristol bins which got published in the Bristol Evening Post!!!

First thing we did when we moved to this house was buy a bin,think it was a large yellow one on wheels I use to feel sorry for the bin men having to pickup a wet carboard box full of rubbish,Now we have small brown bin for food scrapes,I try to clear my plate,Hate it when people put chicken bones out,

I have one green bin for domestic rubbish - There are 2 shared bins for plastic and paper in our complex.

There's a council recyling area in the street too.
