Adur and Worthing bins: fortnightly refuse collections will allow council to divert funds to more pressing areas
I’m all for it. I’m sure our cash-strapped council can find a more pressing use for the money – social services most urgently, I’d suggest.

We only put a single black bag into our bin every week.

I don’t believe that the primary motivation for the council is to encourage recycling, but I agree that it I think it will improve people’s behaviour – especially if the larger recycling bins are made more readily available.
An outstanding question for me is: what’s the suggestion for the green garden refuse bins that we currently pay £80 a year for?
That bin tends to be a bit of a famine or a flood here – we fill it in the summer when things are growing and then again around this time of year with leaves.

Anyway, I would hope the fee will drop by half if the service provided follows suit.
