Since the commencement of weekly food waste collection, my black bin now contains only completely inert material and it certainly doesn’t need emptying every two weeks.

A monthly collection would be quite sufficient.

Maybe other residents have a similar experience.

Perhaps the cash strapped borough council might explore this as a possible cost saving.
