However one argues and moans about the wheelie bins, they are here to stay.

If your household’s garbage does not fit into your bin take it to the local dump or start recycling glass, newspapers, tins and plastic, or get another bin, but you will have to pay for it.
The system works well and the bin takes at least two full bags.
One household really should not have more trash than that.
It is not the council’s way of making money, it’s to make the city clean and efficient.
You do not pay for the bin, you pay for the service.
The previous system was dirty.
You would get one house with three black bags and five supermarket packets next to it and a broken chair chucked on top of it.
The collectors would come, pick up the bags they could and the rest of the rotten food and baby nappies that had fallen out and the half ripped bags would be left on the pavement.
Put your bin out on a Thursday. The truck will come, it will lift the bin into the truck and then it will get put back on to my pavement; easy peasy, not difficult to understand.
To those who do not comply and make me live with your half tore black bags, it’s not fair to the rest of us who are forced to live with the filth.
And to the people with the filthy habit of dumping their bags at the municipal swimming pool or on other pavements around the suburb, and generally chucking polystyrene food boxes after scoffing whatever was in them on the ground, or dropping plastic bags of rubbish, old clothes and mattresses all over the place, that is not how human beings should behave.
