Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Stinking rubbish in front gardens in summer
This (slightly edited) conversation appeared on another thread about growing in front gardens.
I guess the questions are do you share FPR's problem and what can be done about it?
Finsbury Park Ranger: I've got stinking rubbish and quite a lot of flies. Happy to share.
Liz: Have you rung Veolia FPR? I'm sure they will deal with that for you.
Finsbury Park Ranger: They do deal with it every two weeks. Unfortunately in the summer, with a liking for the occasional fresh crab, this just isn't enough.
I'll give them a ring.
Edit: Just rang them, they said general waste can only be picked up every two weeks so just have to wait until the next normal pick up.
I'll have to triple bag the rubbish future I guess.
Alan Stanton: ... your point about hot weather bin collections is apt. The BBC reported that 1 July was the hottest July day ever recorded in England. And there were heatwave alerts.
So it seems sensible if there could be some provision in the waste contract to add a few extra collections when temperatures soar.

I would say if you don't want bins in your front yard you don't have to have them. Take your waste to one of the Recycling and Re-use sites instead.
Otherwise the only alternative I can see is not to produce waste. I live on an estate so I have to take my bins to the estate bins - no clutter in my front garden! But all I produce is 1x small food waste caddy full per week (or two per week when the weather is warm), 1x Ikea recycling bin full of dry recycling per week, and a carrier bag full of residual waste that can't be recycled every 2-3 weeks.
