In Leeds we have 3 good-sized wheelie bins per house (well, we do in our area of North West Leeds)- one for normal waste collected weekly, one for recyclable collected monthly (always full to brim, and I recycle glass separately), and one for garden waste, collected fortnightly (I think).

Three (occasionally four) of us probably fill 1/4 to 1/3 of the normal bin weekly, but by four weeks, the recyclable (paper/cardboard/tins/plastic) bin has to be compressed down (by a lardy lad - moi) by standing on top of everything to squash it down - I would be happy for the normal and recyclable bins to be alternate weeks, but understand that others may fill their normal bins within a week.
