I always smile when I see Anglophones and their outdated concepts. You could just have a communal or public bin and then never have to worry about putting the bin out. But no, let’s instead make a complicated schedule and penalize people who don’t keep to that schedule. And have everyone sacrifice a square meter of their yard to stinky bins.
- Dries007 4mo agoCommunal bins mean everyone pays for everyone's garbage and/or lack of sorting. Here the rate per kg is different depending on which bin it is, so you're "rewarded" for sorting properly.
- rjsw 4mo agoAt least in France, you sort the garbage then choose the correct communal bin to put it in.
- artisinal 4mo agoThe EU has laws for that and countries with communal bins are doing just fine. Communal bins are even better for sorting trash as you can easily have seven different types* next to each other. Nobody wants seven personal bins in their yard. https://eeb.org/en/library/explained-europes-new-laws-for-separate-waste-collection/ https://eeb.org/en/library/explained-europes-new-laws-for-se... * paper, textile, plastics, biowaste, chemical/oils, glass, other
- maccard 4mo agoYou need to put those communal bins somewhere. And they’re very unpopular to be next to. See the discussion about bin hubs [0] in Edinburgh. Bear in mind that the city centre already had communal bins, this is just a slight shift to how they were set up.

- artisinal 4mo agoInteresting read. I still much rather have communal bins a short walk down the road than having multiple stinky bins in my yard.
