got full wheelie bin - where to leave rubbish?

[lauras231279]

Hi.

Having just moved in to our house, we have a lot of recycling waste and our bin is now full. Can I bag up the excess and have it taken by the council with the normal collection or do I have to take it somewhere myself?

Thanks

We have left extra bags but I think it's at their discretion.

There are recycling bins by sainsburys otherwise.

I normally leave out my large Sains reusable shopping bags with excess recycling and it is always collected, with the bags emptied and chucked back over the garden wall.

I put surplus in bags with a note attached saying "recycling" and it's always been taken.

I just replaced my two blue boxes with a small blue wheelie bin thinking it would hold more - but it doesn't. I emptied the contents of the two full boxes into the bin, and now the bin is already full :(

I had a small blue box which I put bottles and cans in...

And a blue bag for paper which I kept indoors to stop it getting wet..

The Bin men threw bag in the back of the truck and when I confronted them they said I could

not use it any more. I even used to remove labels from tins, which was a waste of time as

all the bottles cans and paper go in the truck together.

They also advised that they would no longer accept the blue boxes..

I now have a 140 ltr Blue Bin.. The smallest one they do.

It will take me 2-3 months to ever fill the thing up.

Fox, that's rubbish, they do still accept the blue boxes, they have told you wrong. Not the bags though.

And the smallest size blue bin appears to hold the same as two blue boxes.

Personally I would rather have boxes instead of the small green bin I have, which is hardly used as virtually everything I bin is recycled stuff :(
