Sent in as a comment from Saskia, but too good not to have it as a post.
So, let me get this straight:
Collections will be as follows:
Week 1:
Monday: Green – all kitchen waste, including egg shells (see also Sunday’s collection), but no chicken bones or olive stones; garden waste: only clippings from the following: Celastraceae, Malvaceae and Rosaceae (see also Thursday’s collection); Black: plastics, but only rigid (see below for rigidity testing *), small broken household items with dimensions not exceeding 37 x 45 x 12 cm, ink cartridges, but not HP colour.
Tuesday: Blue – plastics, only non-rigid * (see below); glass, but no broken beer or white/red wine glasses (see additional late-Friday night collection); paper, including newspapers but not the Sunday Mirror.
Wednesday: I can’t quite remember: is it babies and toddlers? But which bin was it? I’m not sure whether I could have misunderstood the instructions though.
Thursday: Green – all green waste but NOT from Celastraceae, Malvaceae and Rosaceae. Also: kitchen waste, but only chicken bones and olive stones (see also Monday’s collection).
Friday: Blue: all recyclables, but no plastics (see Monday and Tuesday). No cricket bats.
Friday-extra: there will be a new extra late-night collection (approx. 23:45) of broken beer and wine glasses, but no champagne flutes.
Saturday: no collection, phew …
Sunday morning: this is a new collection: half-eaten croissants, wastage from fried and boiled eggs, grapefruit and toast, only soggy. The Sunday Mirror (read-only).
