Its been quite a hot topic of debate which appears to have angered most people. Where it is taking place local councils are announcing what a success it has become, while the people served by these local councils are struggling with extra waste one couple in Brompton-on-Swale, North Yorkshire have gone and setup their own refuse collection for the weeks the council doesn't collect it to get rid of the extra waste.

What I find incredibly funny is Richmondshire District Councils response to the scheme. Stating what a success fortnightly collections have been and how residents have paid for waste collection to the council and don't need to pay extra for it. One thing I don't think Richmondshire Council  realizes is that people are doing this because they are not content, because there is a problem.

If councils are going to do fortnightly collections they should at least cut our waste collection bills in half surely if they are only providing half the service they should only charge us half the price? Or unless local councils have suddenly realized that they are struggling to pay for their recycling schemes and need to pay for it by reducing normal waste collections?
