REGARDING the city's recycling target why doesn't the council have weekly recycling collections and reduce black bag collections to fortnightly?

We try to recycle as much as possible but the storage of newspapers and plastics would be impossible without access to a storage area in our garage.

Also, we sometimes forget whether it is a recycling collection week or not and often have four weeks of material to put out for collection.

As there are only two of us living in the house, very often we have nothing more than a carrier bag of refuse in our black bag. Larger families will obviously have more but a fortnightly collection may encourage more people to separate their waste.
