Last nights local news had an item about somewhere near Winchester which was going to have to wait 3 weeks for their rubbish collections. |

Ours is every three weeks anyway, to encourage people to recycle. Paper, plastic etc. is every two weeks and bottles monthly. Food waste is weekly. It so happens that there are no collections scheduled for Christmas week, and the following week ours is being collected as normal, even though Monday is New Years Day, and a public holiday! |

One day this year, previously we have had to wait 3 weeks but we changed days this year from Monday collection to Tuesday and that has made a difference. Not usually a problem for us really as we never have a full bin to collect. And they always do a weekly collection of food waste. We come under Tewkesbury. |

We get fortnightly collections. |

That doesn't make sense does it? We have small food caddies and a special food collection truck (smaller than normal waste collection trucks. We have a two weekly collection of general waste and a two weekly collection of mixed recyclables and a weekly collection of food waste The week the general waste is collected we have a wheelie bin of garden waste collected (we pay £40 a year for that). Our food waste goes for two purposes. Fertilizer for farmers and fuel for energy consumtion. |

At the moment our big green bin (garden & food waste) is free. Next year we expect to pay for the garden waste so, fingers crossed, they,ll sort out something sensible. |

After Christmas, our collection will be just one day late. |

The Winchester collections are one week rubbish, the next week, recyclables, ie fortnightly, so, although some people say they've got to wait 3 weeks for their rubbish to be collected, it's only an extra week. |

Our bin day for general rubbish and organic is fortnightly on a Thurs. Next Thurs is bin day.All other collections, paper, plastic and glass are monthly and will be next Friday. Always works out as normal up here thankfully. |
