I see my neighbours bins every bin day overflowing and it’s got me wondering how much rubbish do you think you actually produce per person each week?
Not including any recycling, or waste food collection which is separate, just what we call the black bin here, I reckon we as a household of two on average we put less than two black bin bags out a fortnight, that’s less than half a black bag each a week.
We have our black bin collected fortnightly and we usually half-fill it. Three of us and pets.
Our kitchen bin only really is used for non-recyclable plastic and pet waste. Everything else goes in the food bin or recycling wheelie bin. Our recycling wheelie bin is usually completely overflowing, whereas many of my neighbours completely overfill the black bin and barely even bother with the recycling and food bins.
