refuse collection

[crisgal]

how often is your rubbish bin emptied by the council? I mean the general waste, not the recyclable stuff. And what county do you live in?

Ours is once a fortnight - lancashire

[fairy!]

Oxfordshire - Recycling & normal waste alternate weeks, so each is collected once a fortnight... that make sense??

We are on a 2 week cycle now which we can just about manage with - even with 2 kids - but there's no scope for any unusual items - I've made more trips to the local dump recently and have had to hire a skip on a couple of occasions when things have mounted up - I found some cheap companies using this website http://www.skiphiredirect.co.uk
