Weekly Or Fortnightly Collections?
In Suffolk, I had fortnightly ones, with alternatively, rubbish and recycling. Here in Hackney, It’s weekly for both.
What is best?
I think it depends on the bin men. I’ve had good ones in both places and they could work either system. For me too, one collection a fortnight would work, as I don’t have much rubbish.
I’ve always felt that the best way to up recycling is to have a reward system, where perhaps bottle banks are weighed and a fund is shared out accordingly in the area on small projects.

Even fortnightly, we have little rubbish because we recycle almost everything. But our neighbours have a lot of rubbish for very genuine reason, they too recycle all they can, they just have things to throw that most people dont have. Twice weekly would be good for them!
