We have noted that our bin is never even half full every week so fortnightly collections would work for us  but here is a suggestion why not let residents elect at the start of the year if they want weekly or fortnightly collections those who choose fortnightly get a rebate on their council tax and be an incentive to get residents in the habit of recycling plus the council could issue a coloured sticker say for next year i.e. a Blue 2012 for weekly and an Orange 2012 ticker for fortnightly so no one can cheat the system.\r\n\r\nregards\r\n\r\nAndy White\r\n","committee_note":null,"state":"rejected","signature_count":1,"created_at":"2011-09-30T18:43:03.000Z","updated_at":"2020-02-16T19:27:19.690Z","rejected_at":"2017-06-21T12:35:43.740Z","opened_at":null,"closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2011-09-30T18:43:03.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"debate_scheduled_at":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"rejection":{"code":"irrelevant","details":null},"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[],"topics":[]}}}
