Is that what Al Gore *calls an "inconvenience truth" ? We have had bi-weekly collections here for about 4 years. No rats or flies (unless you forget to put your rubbish out which quite a few student houses seem to end up doing). -- Jonathan Stott Canterbury Weather:http://www.canterburyweather.co.uk/ Reverse my e-mail address to reply by e-mail Ah yes, but what if your council does not provide bins, just plastic bags specially designed to be ripped to pieces by whatever wildlife passes? More and more taxes for fewer and fewer sevices. Steve R. Swansea |

All that's happening is that the councils that haven't yet gone over to fortnightly collection are catching up with those that have, including ours, having found that there is no increase in flies or rats - not least because the design of the wheelie bins is good enough to prevent it. If you didn't know that fortnightly collections are now widespread across the country, perhaps you should get out more :-) -- Malcolm In St Albans rubbish is collected weekly and recyling (green waste, glass,plastic and paper) is collected on a fortnightly basis. Rubbish collection every fortnight would be fine with me as the volume of refuse we put out is small. However I think it would only work if they switched from bin bags to wheelie bins. It has nothing to do with GW and everything to do with reducing the cost of collection. Alan Not according to the environment minister Ben Bradfshaw http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/6457165.stm Mr Bradshaw is also of the persuasion that the Gulf stream is about to change. http://www.benbradshaw.co.uk/column/ |
