| Comment | "Some system needs to be devised where each building or tenement has its own designated bins, or there is at least some way of ensuring that not just anyone can put things in massive bins located on the street which inevitably overflow;" - that's exactly how it's already done. There are a few streets where stuff like recycling goes into larger street bins but the vast, vast majority of flats have their own sets of bins for food/recycling/general waste which are stored in the back garden of the building. There are also a few communal street bins for recycling and glass which is presumably intended for over-spill.
"More community sorting facilities where people can drop off bulky items that should not be placed in or beside bins (i.e., furniture); OR certain days in which these items will be collected from the street." - again, that's how it's already done (specifically your last sentence there). You can put bulk items on the pavement for collection on set days of the week/month in each area and the council are suppose to pick it up. Note that this was on hold because of COVID and has now been tempoarily changed so that you need to explicitly request a pick-up. |
