We were given a little bin for the kitchen and a bigger one for collection. I suppose, in flats, communal bins would get to be pretty disgusting. It only takes one mucky resident.
Same here, very useful for collecting water in the big one and all sorts of other jobs for the small one. We don’t have any food waste and fresh waste goes on the compost heap.

@wild edges from January 2024 it will be a legal requirement for every home in France to have a composting system for kitchen waste. Quite how it will be organised for apartment dwellers is yet to be revealed.
@Obelixx surely nobody expects politicians to think things through before bringin in new, unworkable rules.

All the food waste here goes to local anaerobic digesters to make biogas and soil to regenerate the old coal mining sites. I always think back to how manky student flats were though and can't imagine some of that lot managing to recycle properly. The student area of Cardiff was rife with seagulls ripping open bin bags and spreading the contents all over the streets.
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

There's a consultation out now for new Welsh developments to consider 'sound scapes' in their design and implementation. This is apparently to improve working from home conditions and stop neighbours murdering each other over their tendency to play Celine Dion's greatest hits at loud volume while they mow their lawn every week. I'm not sure how they're going to convince people not to be noisy buggers but it will probably slow down house building more than it stops all the illegal scramblers tearing up the hills and doing wheelies through school run traffic.

I'll probably get shot down in flames for saying this, but the biggest problem with lack of recycling in our area tends to be in areas of what might be called 'high ethnic diversity'. Many will have come from areas where they were lucky if they had clean water and sewers and have no concept of recycling. Drive through those areas on 'bin day' and you will see mountains of black bags, many of them piles on top of bins which won't be collected because the tops aren't closed!
