00:00I think, especially if you get through more rubbish than we do, then it starts to pile
00:04up and it starts to cause a stink and, yeah.
00:08Currently, Bristol's black wheelie bins get collected every two weeks, with black and
00:14green recycling boxes and food waste bins collected every week. But do locals think
00:20this is enough? And how would they feel if the council only collected black bins once
00:25a month?
00:27Well, I mean, I think that I live in a student house so we don't get through masses of rubbish
00:37but I think if it was limited to once a month then it could be potentially inconvenient,
00:45especially for us, I guess.
00:48According to the Bristol City Council website, you should put your bins out after 6pm the
00:53day before your collection or before 6am on the morning of the collection and should
00:59be visible from the road.
01:02I don't think they'll like it and it'll just, as I say, just lead to people just dumping
01:07stuff more or overflowing bins which then gets attacked by seagulls or, yeah, or just
01:15left in the street overflowing which doesn't make it a nice place.
01:19One thing that the council are talking about is bin collection. In some areas they might
01:23be trialling collection once a month. What are your feelings about that?
01:28Yeah, I mean, you need a weekly collection in my opinion.
01:33Do you think it's going to lead to antisocial behaviour, things like fly tipping?
01:37Yeah, potentially. I mean, I think, you know, messier streets maybe, right? And yeah, I
01:44mean, I think, you know, the general waste is about once a month I think at the moment
01:49but recycling I think, which is OK because I think people are recycling more, so, but
01:54I think, yeah, recycling collections weekly are kind of necessary.
