We do this in South Australia. It can be done in East Lothian if you have the depot to sort out the recycling. The wheelie bins are collected like the refuse ones. PS I still have a vote in UK.

I fully support this request. The wind is a problem. The weight of carrying the boxes to the collection point is a problem. The covers are damaged - usually by cigarette burns - allowing water to add to the weight of the boxes. Recycling needs to be made the easy option for everyone.

Being a corner house in a cul de sack I am fed up picking up other people's recycling on bad weather days which can be very often. The small boxes we have in Musselburgh are not big enough, I have 3 each paper and plastic which takes up a lot of room, a wheelie bin would solve these problems

Where we are all trying to do our best to recycle as much as poss bigger wheelie bins certainly make more sense, and that the different lorry is in the area for outer lying properties it makes complete sense too. Most folk have four five or six boxes, longer for the guys to uplift that all the boxes

My parents have bins in Trabroun. I have room for bins at my house. Having recently suffered from an injury bins would be easier as boxes pour water over your shoes and the lids disintegrate very quickly. It should be a matter of choice in a free society not dictated to. Bins I say for ease for difficult lifting please

We live in rural North Berwick and the boxes are a hazard. Recently they had blown onto the main road and were hit by a car.

It's ludicrous to use boxes....every windy day...and there. are many....the boxes are strewn over roads and pavements. Totally unsuitable for anyone with a disability.

They are not any good could we get the same ones that Edinburgh got !!!
