I DON'T know why there is all the fuss about councils wanting to change over to a fortnightly bin collection system.

I've had to live with it for a few years and it works well. We have recycling boxes for papers, bottles, cans, cardboard and plastic which are collected every other week.

Having said that it suits me because there are only two in my house - and he indoors, not the avid recycler that I am, says they'll expect us to drive the wagons ourselves next!

The thing is change comes, and, little though we like it, we all get used to it eventually.
