Okay, okay, I know its the Mail but do they have a point?
Are wheelies always the answer to getting rid of our waste? Personally, I'd like a smaller one as I rarely have more than one bag of rubbish, but I don't think that's an option.
In a recent discussion at LCSP, it was pointed out that wheelies were impractical for some properties on Wightman Rd due to steps in front of the properties and the difficulty that older people might have in getting them over steps, with the result they are left on pavements and obstruct pedestians. It was suggested that the old style lidded bins would be more suitable and on a walk up there I noticed that many people had little brick 'shelters' for that style of bin which are now useless.
Maybe a little flexibility needed? Very often binmen don't take the whole wheelie to the truck if there is only one bag, so what's the difference if it's in an old style bin?
