5. As shown on these diagrams we use to at times need to make bin empties up to 19 times a month cardboard and rubbish combined.

6. Once in place we immediately reduced the number of bin empties to 1 a week, reducing our empties per month to 4. This together with a bin hire fee and a small extra weight fee is the charge we now incur for our waste disposal. Cardboard skip empties are no longer a factor as we make our own bales and transport them to the refuse dump for recycling free of charge!
