Rat fears if UK bins collected monthly

“blueprint for what Labour can do across the UK”. The punitive bin plans are set out in a Welsh Government document called Collections Blueprint 2025, which urges councils to “reduce the frequency of collection” of non-recyclable waste.

Mr Hollinrake said: “In Keir Starmer’s own words, Wales is Labour’s blueprint for government. Today Wales, tomorrow England.

“This is a testing ground for monthly bin collections, along with cuts to the sizes of bins, bin chips spying on households and bin-bully fines for overzealous rules.

“This is the sign of things to come in England. Labour ministers have already revoked Conservative guidance to stop three-weekly or monthly bin collections, and ditched our plans to stop the abuse of town hall fining powers for innocent mistakes.

“At the same time, council tax is going through the roof — with a predicted £700 bombshell in higher tax over the next three years.

“Under Labour, council taxpayers pay more and get less, leaving hardworking families to pay the price.”
