There are four of us in our house and we often have friends or guests over
recycling and composting aside, we generate around one kitchen bin's worth of rubbish a week and our dustbin could easily go 3-4 weeks without being emptied

Our binn would never go three weeks with out being emtied.
Not due a loud shouty man doing it early in the morning, but due to the bloody foxes round here and they fact that they have somehow worked out how to open the bloody lids and thrash the fuck out of whatever is inside.

We've
got four adults and 5 kids in our house.
Our front garden looks like a fucking landfill site after two weeks, especially after the foxes et al. have ripped the bags open to get at the leftovers...and that's with all the bags of recycled bottles, plastics and paper as well.
Over Christmas they weren't collected for 5 weeks - the view from anyone's window in our street was not a pretty one. It seriously looked like a war zone.

Fucking typically...
...I got home from work yesterday to find that they had simply decided not to collect our bins again...so in a fortnight's time, we'll have a month's worth of shite outside our house from 4 adults and 5 kids for them to collect.

I need to get an incinerator I think.
