I wonder if Southwark has ever considered implementing the Edinburgh system of bins. They have no bins allocated to individual homes but instead several very large communal ones dispersed intermittently in the street, or at the end of streets. this frees up people?s front gardens/spaces so they don?t have the hideous collection of blue, brown and green plastic crowding the front of homes and spilling onto pavements.. Easier for bin men to access. One for recycle, one for household. Positioned in non parking spaces so no more pressure on parking spaces,
