Practical solution = take it to the recycling facility. Yes I know that's what you pay for but it's better than having a pile of stinking garbage on your doorstep. And deduct £20 from the next instalment of council tax.

And whats the chances of getting away with that?
For amusement value I'd go with dumping it on the steps of the town hall, however this could result in prosecutions, so I'd be inclined to pay some crackheads to do it for you.

well if it's the whole street suffering I'd stop paying your council tax. That'll get their response quickly enough.

I'm shocked at the amount of refuse some small households generate.
Our house has 3 adults and a 12 yr old living in it. We have alternating weekly collections for household refuse and recycled rubbish. In 2 weeks our recycling bin is always pretty much full, but our household waste wheelie is never anywhere near it. |

Bi-weekly refuse collections are parsimony passed off as environmentalism IMO. Rubbish stinks to high heaven (not to mention it's vastly more likely to be crawling with maggots) after 2 weeks. My lots' system is fairly good; weekly rubbish collection and a seperate weekly collection of recyclables (alternating types each week). All this putting the different types of in different bags is nonsense though, perfectly workable systems exist to sort the recycling (from other recycling) once it has been collected. How many more people would be prepared to recycle/recycle more if there were just 2 bins they had to keep, one recycleable waste, the other non-recyclable waste and both were collected weekly? Once again, I feel it's this puritanical aspect of ecologists (as you have to feel like you're making some effort in for us to gain from recycling) rearing its ugly head preventing this.
