I'm looking forward to the council announcing monthly collections just to sit back and watch the chaos that will ensue.
No family should struggle with a monthly collection if they are recycling correctly. I am amazed at the number of residents on my street who are apparently being funded by the State to watch daytime TV, take their kids to school and consume vast quantities of ready cooked meals, cigarettes & booze and yet they still cannot be bothered to sort plastics - happily allowing their bins to overflow into their own alleyways and streets.
I sincerely hope that fines will be generously dished out by the council to the perpetrators and landlords who show no regard to their neighbours who have to put up with this.

I know that in many European countries fines are levied against people who don't recycle glass, paper, plastic etc. The UK authorities look for a quiet life and just let things be.

If recycling’s the answer, then what’s the question? Seems to me that waste’s a necessary consequence of growth, and growth’s the pumping heart of the economic system that controls us. Under it, we're economic units whose function is to consume, and a full bin is a sign that we’re doing exactly what’s required of us. Recycling’s a feeble and doomed attempt to address one of the environmental consequences of this insatiable economic expansion, and an opportunity for the expression of a bit self-righteous indignation towards those who are judged to have consumed too much.

Do nothing and nothing happens.
