Council on 529 3030 or email wae@edinburgh.gov.uk. To avoid Tesco you can take packaging [drinks cartons, tins, envelopes, cardborard, plastic bottles], glass, paper and, I think, clothes to the Indoor Bowling carpartk down Westbank Street - or even to the fabby new site at Seafield!!

Good luck with that, Portocat. Let me know how you get on.

We've had fights regularly with the council for years about the stuff everyone else gets. First we had the gumption to want a wheelie bin instead of rats. Then we dared to want a brown garden recycling bin. Apparently we can't have one because our street is too narrow for an ordinary bin wagon and we have to wait until they can buiy a new small one. We wanted a blue paper recycling bag and were told we couldn't possibly have one, although our street in the end did get a communal paper recycling bin. And last but not least, a recycling box...we haven't even bothered to attempt it this time. We live on the wrong side of Porty, I think...

I'd like to know if they're allowed to provide a lesser service for us than other Porty streets and yet charge the same amount of council tax.
