I asked Reading Borough Council for a smaller landfill bin. They gave me a smaller recycling bin instead. I was annoyed. We actually use half the space in the recycling bin most fortnights and all of it at birthdays and Christmas, whereas we use less than a quarter of the landfill space so a smaller bin would make a lot of sense.
Bah, humbug.
Ailbhe, sorry to hear about it!! Hope you complained again & that they’ll make things right!!
A friend from Chicago complained a while ago of too small & overflowing recycling bins too.. Some of these things could be so easy to solve…
OH Ailbhe; I hope this can be resolved – how annoying for you! We don’t have bins provided over here; just one for the green waste; the other bins are up to us to get, so we still have the old fashioned ones, not wheelie bins.
