This will become a serious health hazard and yet another excuse for fly tipping!

Leaving rubbish in the bins in our community for three weeks it's just disgusting the streets are going to stink, it's going to encourage vermin and flies and inevitably it will affect peoples health. Stop punishing people when you need to focus your energy is on encouraging the manufacturers to use less packaging.

I'm all for recycling but we struggle with a two weekly collection. I definitely don't won't to move to a 3 weekly collection.

Flys multiplying every 7-10days! Not a good idea. Infestations and stench will result

When rubbish is overflowing what measures will be taken for the likely increased prevalence of rat infestations?

Of course being a single parent and living in a flat where I have to pull up the wheel bins from my basement.. Every 2 weeks is hard enough let alone every 3 weeks!!! Obviously not happy!!!

The two weeks is bad enough but if they try 3 weeks we would need more bins and we find they dont always take our vardboard as the lorry is full by the time it gets to ours rediculoud

This will only lead to more fly tipping ruining our beautiful countryside. Unless you make it easier to recycle plastics, 3 weeks will be too long between collections as our kitchen waste bin is full after 2 weeks.
