    Weekly trash pickup is considered excessive? Our bins are bad enough after a week. After 2 you could probably smell them from the next street over.

      I dunno I have an 80L bin and it’s got one bag of rubbish per week as a couple. Understand families have more waste, that’s why 120L+ bins exist. I can’t personally say I’ve ever been offended by a smelly bin. Waste smells. Make less waste, or give your bin a better seal. We could comfortably move our waste frequency to monthly if we had a bigger bin tbh.

      It’s more that the state has no say in bin collection, that is a local council task. Every council has different bin collection cycles and even types of bins, as well as different waste management facilities etc. balanced against local requirements. Doubling bin pickup means either twice as many trucks + staff, or 24 hour collections.
