MONDAY is refuse collection day in Willington. Nothing odd about that. What is absolutely mad is that its the first brown bin collection of the new year.

Who on Earth fills their brown bin in January? Surely our collection service should be servicing the majority?

Let's apply a little common sense before printing the collection dates for this time next year.

    “Agree with Michael - scrap brown bin colections until late Feb, nothing in mine either at this time of year and black bin rammed over the two week period between collections”

    “My cut up Xmas tree. I lop off the branches and put them in the brown bin.”

    “from John Stewart, Hilton, Derby.

    Michael Burton's garden must be stocked with genetically-modified self-limiting growth plants. Our brown bin is stuffed; repeated sessions of jumping up and down have compressed the material to its minimum possible volume but we still have bags to put in the bin after next Tuesday's collection. The suspension of brown bin collections in December and January causes real problems.”

    “Quite a lot of people, actually. January is the right time for any number of garden jobs, pruning, thinning, clearing for instance. There is also food waste - people eat rather more in winter, food is fuel after all! Just because a service is irrelevant to you, it doesn't automatically follow that it's irrelevant to everyone else.”
