The most important thing is that bins may be collected at DIFFERENT TIMES to those that people are used to - ie later in the day or earlier in the morning, so it is important to put the bin out the night before, and not to take it in and think it has been forgotten. We are talking afternoon collections here, whereas most people have been used to a morning collection. The reconfigured routes are to make things more efficient.
Second, the bin lorries are fitted with CCTV cameras, and the reason is to provide a record of any disputes - which can get pretty irate - or where someone says "I put my bin out and you didnt empty it". So it is possible to resolve any arguments.
Thirdly, in the three winter months, the green bin will be collected once a month rathern than every two weeks, after leaf fall. This is because there is basically nothing much to go in the green bins at that time of year.
Finally - and this is still to be finally decided - the collection services between Xmas and New Year will be assessed and there may be a longer gap between collections. This doesnt sound like a good service, but watch this space. I will be arguing for the service to be as good as it has been in recent years.
