Rubbish Bins After moving last November, we realised that our "dump master" did not have to be so large.  We have reduced the size of our bin from 3m3 to 1.5 m3 and reduced the emptying schedule from twice per month to once a month with the option of extra empties when required.  We found the process of down sizing difficult because the waste contractors were diffucult to deal with.  Naturally, they did not want to loose business, but after contacting several providers, we were able to get what we were after.
