I now have four blue bins – two delivered recently to add to those issued a few years back. When I inquired what to do with the old ones (which are still perfectly usable) I was told to retain them as spares.

This is daft. While I am sure there are those who would welcome newer bins, this could have been managed by request. Am I to see an ever-growing mountain of blue bins as and when I am issued with new ones? Since we are supposed to be cutting down on waste, this does seem counter-productive. How do we recycle the recycle bins?

I also do not want the liners, and I am not convinced many do. I put the caddy out on collection day and it is emptied just fine. It is all so wasteful.
