Council will only collect rubbish once every three weeks

Bury Council has become the first in England to announce that from now on it will only be collecting rubbish once every three weeks. It previously collected rubbish once a fortnight and recycling once a month. Now it plans to pick up recycling more often, but leave residents with overflowing a smelly bins for even longer.

And there are concerns that this may set a precedent that other councils feel they can follow.
