We're getting a plastic waste bin as well soon for all plastic except for raw meat containers.

The general waste is emptied each week while the huge brown bin and the boxes are emptied on alternate weeks.

To be honest, it's not really much of a faff sorting out the rubbish and the reduction of rubbish in the general waste bin shows how much could have been recycled in the past

So how do people living in flats manage to store all those bins?

They tend to have communal ones.

Yep, really big bins!! They're in a nice racking system with clear signs above each bin about what each one takes

It's just the logistics that annoys.

I currently have in the living room,kitchen and bathroom two bins per room,one for recycling,one for rubbish.how the hell am I to sort it out further before I have to place it in the correct bin?

Get everyone in the street to call gosport council and apply for a free skip (assuming they still provide them), throw all your rubbish in there.
When full, get the council to take it away.
Repeat the next month :D

I sadly know too few of my neighbours.I've definitely lived in this street too long but in days past this is what we did..and we would help the older folk carry out the heavier stuff to the skip.
