Garbage

It always annoys me how so many Londoners complain about the fact that the city has introduced a 4-bag limit on garbage. Our garbage and recycling pickup is on an 8-day cycle, with pickups on Monday one week, then Tuesday the next week, etc. When pickup is on a Friday, the next pickup is on the following Monday, so there's an 11-day gap. Our last pickup was a Friday, but we've also had two statutory holidays in between, which means we've had a 13-day gap. Even so, we've only got 2 bags to go to the curb, and one of them is full of diapers!

If a household of two adults and a baby can stay within the limit so easily, how come so many people have a problem with it?

Reduce
Re-use
Recycle (including compost!)
