I was informed on Monday, by my local borough council (the one with boundaries adjoining your borough council), that compulsory sorting
and recycling of waste will start on 3 July.

We'll have to place food waste and teabags into separate containers from glass, newspapers, cans and plastic bottles. Brown bins (for garden cuttings, cardboard and food waste) will be collected weekly but green recycling boxes and green waste bins will only be collected fortnightly.

I think I'll need to ask the council for another green recycling box, as the one I have is too small to accommodate all the glass and plastic bottles, newspapers and magazines that accumulate in a fortnight.
