3 week bin collections

The council last year made it so our general waste is only collected every 3 weeks and recycling every week. Does anyone else have this. I think it's not a good idea as by the time the bin comes to be emptied it stinks. I recycle to but feel 3 weekly collections is ridiculous

I am all for encouraging recycling but that’s not acceptable. In the current heat, it’s a battle against stinking bins and maggots. A better balance would be weekly collections of non recyclables in summer and monthly for the rest of the year if they need to save money.
