I was excited to hear we are having an extra collection over the christmas break as I'm sure there will be lots of extra packaging to dispose of. Do you recycle also. Ours is put in separate bins to recycle.

Hey there. What an odd/silly/fun post! ;) Thought I'd stop by and respond... :) Anyway, our trash is picked up once a week, every friday! I don't think they are collecting anytime extra in our area. :) We don't have recycle bins to use!

I have to pull a pail out two times a week. It is so far, about 1/4 of a mile of dirt roads. So, now I just leave it there. Take the garbage, though it into the truck, and drop it off when we leave the house. We do not recycle out here.

It is because we live way out from the city. But it's worth it overall.

Our garbage is collected every Friday, but we only leave it out if the bin is full, as it costs 7 euros each time it is collected, as well as an annual fee of 150 euros. We also have a recycle bin which is collected once every month and there is no charge for this collection.

Ours is once a week. The recycle and trash are both picked up on Wednesday morning.
Sometimes around the Holidays they come either at a different time or an extra time to pick Holiday garbage up becuase there is more of it and they don't actually want to be out on the actually day of the Holiday.

Our garbage goes out once a week regardless of holidays, we have recycling alternate weeks and also green waste. Yes I do recycle as much as possible and the bin is usually always full and the rubiish half empty. That must be a good sign!

We have our regular Wheely bin emptied weekly, on a friday am, & the recycle bin fortnightly. But the council is looking at doing the recycle bin weekly.. Looking forward to that.
