They're for different types of recycling. We have them where I live.Quote:

We have different collection cycles but sometimes there are cases where three coincide on one day.Quote:

Do your council send you a list of which bin is being emptied on which dates, or are all the bins outside for the 'binmen' to empty as-and-when?
We have a calendar of dates when particular bins are collected. General waste is on a fortnightly cycle, food waste on a weekly cycle, paper and card on a fortnightly cycle, plastic on a different fortnightly cycle and garden waste on some other cycle that I'm not aware of as I don't put any out.Quote:

Because they all have to go in different collection vehicles, there would not be enough staff to collect all bins on the same day. We have cardboard/paper every 4 weeks, bottles every 4 weeks and general waste every 2 weeks. All on a wednesday.Quote:

Our general waste is collected by one vehicle; food, paper & card and plastic are collected by another (one vehicle), so, for example, one week we could have three bins out, general, food, plastic, collected by two vehicles - general in one; food and plastic in the other.Quote:

Think garden waste is an extra charge?Quote:

But where I live it is only for the lights, appliances, etc., the landlord pays for the heating (radiators, although there aren't many places left that still use radiators as a heating system) & hot water. He also is responsible for water as a whole, sewer, & garbage.Quote:

The radiators are heated by a hot water boiler in the basement.Quote:

Councils also proved council housing as well, though tenants do have to pay extra rent for that.Quote:

Just what we need to keep Mimi in her place.
I don't think it has ever been mentioned before having a brewery on the doorstep. Have any of the street residents ever worked there, being just around the corner it would have been better employment than the knicker factory or the kebab shop. How long has it been closed? It can't have been long as nobody has nicked the aluminium kegs.
It only existed this weekQuote:

It was dangerous for Audrey to say she was going to change the will. Far safer to say that it had already been done but she might change her mindQuote:

I liked the reception karaoke. EastEnders would have done it so differently and used it as a platform to launch music careers for their younger characters
Evelyn saved it and Fiz did look nice as did the kidsQuote:
