Bin matters.

Brighton are to trial continental-style street rubbish bins. This means that there will no longer be a house to house bin collection service, and it will now be up to you to take your refuse to the nearest street bin, which could be up to 150 yards away. Provided these bins are emptied daily, as they are in Spain for example, there are advantages to such a system - you don't have to stockpile rubbish at home and you don't have to worry about missing your weekly or fortnightly bin collection. But pity the person who has one of these bins outside their house, and if you're elderly or disabled then taking your rubbish to the bin may be beyond you. So it's very much a case of watch this space...
