Fortnightly waste collection
Amid financial pressures from the EU, the councils are under more pressure from the government to switch to a fortnightly waste collection.
According to an article on the BBC website, there are currently, around 200 local authorities in the UK are collecting refuse fortnightly. It will not be long before a council in our area will start trialling the new system.
You can access the official Waste Strategy of Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead on the following page:

Reading Borough Council’s page is the following on refuse collection:

We would like to especially draw our landlords’ attention to the great article on the “Waste Collection from Tenanted Properties” on the Reading Borough Council website.
Also, there is a campaign on the BBC Action Network on the subject at the following address:
