Losing our weekly collections as of 1st August, not a problem in itself, but the council are leaving my area on black sack collections. All Victorian terraced housing, we haven't access to take a wheeled bin out, nor particularly room to store a pair of bins!
I'm not happy about having to find room to store 2 weeks worth of refuse in my (small) garden. It's going to be an eyesore, and somehow I need to try and keep it safe from pests and vermin as it'll have to be carried back through the house to be put out for collection. Council are refusing to admit there may be a problem with this method, their argument is as they are providing slop buckets, (small container for the kitchen and larger for outside, something else we need to find space for...). then removal of the food element of the refuse will prevent problems with pests. I am not so convinced.
Council by their own admission dont know how the scheme is going to work until its running. (Just over 4 weeks to go and they've still not decided what arrangements they're making for commercial refuse collections.... )
Has anyone else experience of fortnightly collections without the benefit of a wheeled bin to contain the refuse? I'd value anyone's experiences, personally I dont think it's going to work.
