Empty bins every two weeks instead of 3 and 4 weeks now refusing to empty if bins are too heavy of course they will be heavy if emptied every 3 weeks and if bin is too heavy wont be emptied
Change it to every two weeks
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
Decisions about local waste collection are a matter for individual local authorities, not the Government or House of Commons.
