Oh my goodness, I would hate bags. We have a black bin for general waste, brown for garden, purple for paper and card and green for other recyclables.

No we are still in the dark ages, black bin bags supplied by the householder and orange bags for recyclable items supplied by the council.

Where I live you can have bags instead of ugly great plastic wheelie bins, though the council is quite reluctant to issue them. It would take me many months to fill each sort of wheelie bin and they would half-fill my back garden so I have green and blue bags and my household rubbish goes out in a black plastic bag.

Hello

You may or may not be aware that I have started several threads related to rubbish collection.

I know that I’m not alone in my entirely healthy interest in all things refuse.

I have just heard that if you are in Berkshire, that instead of wheelie bins ; you are in receipt of sectioned and weighted bags.

They have a flap, and look a bit like a large handbag. They are totally weather proof (allegedly).

Is this true?

How do you get on with them?

Does anyone else have an exotic and unusual rubbish and recycling set-up?

Yours in anticipation smile
