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 :(

  Signed, and I will share it elsewhere, thank you for posting this. It's got nearly 70,000 signatures at present, and apparently runs till February.

  There’s a couple of Gov petitions going on in relation to fireworks at the moment but this one is for banning them entirely except organised displays if anyone wants to sign. This is the only sensible way forward in my view. No one should be able to let them off in gardens or anywhere like that, it’s crazy. I am surprised some of you have said it hasn’t been as bad this year. I live near DKH Saino and it’s been absolutely terrible my way for days. This petition gained about 20,000 just in the last day or so so clearly the appetite is there! https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/732559

  I'd have thought they could use some of their income from hiring out a large part of Brockwell Park in the summer (therefore, as I understand it, preventing local residents from using much of it) to put on a firework display there in the autumn which might somewhat make up to those residents for the previous loss of use of the park. And also generate goodwill.

  Clicking on your name, I see you've made seven posts on here since you joined around four years ago, and they've all been about local libraries. And none of the posts are very pleasant. Care to share with the rest of us where your particular interest in libraries comes from? Do you work in one of them?
