We had those blue boxes in Rosegrove last year when we moved here,they never got emptied,plus most of them went missing.The local kids put them in the canal.We had our bins emptied Thursday but awaiting the bags for paper.Thats this week.Ok it has made a difference in what i put in my bin,but i've got carrier bags all over with waste paper in them,a black bin liner full of husbands empty wine/lager cans.
