It is important to try to get a regular rhythm of collection and to avoid, frankly, quite smelly waste lingering in people’s driveways, especially in much more condensed accommodation. While councils can choose to do this weekly at the moment, and I understand some of the economic pressures they may feel under, it would be a retrograde step to go that way. I also do not know what consequences there would be for the impact assessment accompanying the regulations from that likely change away from fortnightly collections across the country.
