Rubbish

We have a pretty good rubbish collection service in Powys. It's weekly, and takes away black bags for the non-recyclable stuff (or the stuff people can't be bothered to sort out), as well as a clear bag with red writing for plastics and tins, and a clear bag with black writing for paper and textiles.
It's not, however, good enough. Far too much rubbish is going to landfill, saddling the Council with a huge bill in fines.
I'm not convinced that wheelie bins are the answer, though.
In the B&R this week, there's an article laying out plans by the Council to change the way they collect our rubbish. One idea sounds quite good - diverting food waste from landfill by providing a special bin to collect it separately. This would be collected weekly, along with other bins for the other recyclable stuff.
Then there would be a wheelie bin for the non-recylable stuff, which would be collected fortnightly.
Which sounds fine in theory, but it would take me a year to fill a standard wheelie bin! And I'm not sure where I or my neighbours would be able to put one - the entrance to the back yard is too narrow for one to fit through.
The council apparently says that the bins would be issued to 'standard households', whatever that may mean - and what happens to the non-standard households?
They have plenty of time to think this through - the plan is to start the new scheme in April next year.
