In the middle of March we put out our recycling bins on a Thursday night, as usual, for collection on Friday.

They were not collected until a week later. We were informed by letter (at what cost?) of a change of collection date DURING the week the bins were standing out awaiting collection. 

No calendar of collection days was available on the council website.

The recycling bins were collected again a fortnight later. Hurray!

Two weeks later the bins were duly put out but not collected until after the weekend, ie last Monday.

Imagine my surprise, when this week, a waste collection calendar revealed that the next collection would be this Friday just four days later than the last one.

On phoning the council I discovered that this was indeed the case. So today a recycle cart took my two or three newspapers.

I didn’t see any other bins in the road.

Is this how the council save money?
